Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Benzophenone-3
- Not decoded yet
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- 1,3 Butylene glycol
- 1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Dicetyl Phosphate
- Emulsifier and auxiliary surfactant for stable lotions; used at low levels in creams.
- Ceteth-10 Phosphate
- Sodium/salt of ceteth-10 phosphate, gentle surfactant/emulsifier for rinse-off products; test compatibility with cationics.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Theobroma Cacao Extract
- Cacao extract providing antioxidants and conditioning, aids skin elasticity.
- Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Hydrolyzed Gum Acacia, natural colloid for thickening and conditioning, low comedogenic.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Sea Plankton Water
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
- Basic humectant and soother; high concentrations or impurities may cause contact dermatitis, recommend high-purity spec
- Bitter Orange Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Melanin
- Melanin as pigment or UV absorber; natural colorant, shade depends on purity, used in dark concealers.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
