Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isodecyl Neopentanoate
- Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Diethylhexyl Carbonate
- Light emollient for silky texture; non-comedogenic, suits most skin types.
- Quaternium-18 Bentonite
- Anionic clay complex for high viscosity and suspension; incompatible with cationics
- PEG-10 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Vinyl-Dimethicone-Methicone-Silsesquioxane-Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Purslane Extract
- Purslane extract with mucopolysaccharides; soothing/anti-inflammatory; low irritancy, good for sensitive skin, check microbial stability.
- Triethoxycaprylyl Silane
- Silane coupling agent for enhanced adhesion and water resistance; added in trace amounts as a functional aid; verify process compatibility.
- 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.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Jojoba Seed Oil
- Jojoba seed oil; ester-rich, skin-like emollient; low irritation potential.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Tomato Extract
- Not decoded yet
