Ingredients explained

Eau

Not decoded yet

Diisopropyl adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Ethylhexyl salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Diisopropyl sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate

Gentle emulsifier suitable for sensitive skin; oil-soluble, often paired with others; non-comedogenic

Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Potassium cetyl phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Triacontanyl Pvp

High-MW film former and thickener; gives slip and longevity, high levels risk heavy texture.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

CI 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Glyceryl caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Synthetic fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate

Non-ionic emulsifier for stabilizing O/W systems; gentle.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

C30-45 Olefin

C30-45 Olefin; long-chain hydrocarbon emollient and viscosity modifier. Provides mineral oil-like occlusion with low sensitization risk.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Mangifera Indica Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Marrubium Vulgare Extract

Saponarin-rich extract for soothing and hydration; typical in photoprotection or sensitive skin formulas

Kalanchoe Pinnata Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

t-Butyl alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Phenethyl alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Tin oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Lapsana Communis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Lapsana communis extract. Soothing conditioning. Follow manufacturer data for concentration.
