Highlights

Free of alcoholFree of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains siliconesContains PEGContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains essential oils

Formulation view Hybrid sun protection combining zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and chemical filters. Silicone polymers blend with water for a lightweight texture. Suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Formulator note: Suspension stability of mineral filters is critical; silicone copolymers need solubilization to prevent clumping. Fragrance allergy risk must be considered.

Ingredients explained

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Butylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

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.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for thickening and stability; silicone-based, provides emollience, non-comedogenic, used in powders.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate

UV-B absorber with usage limits; requires combination with other filters to prevent degradation.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glyceryl Caprylate

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Dimethicone

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Glycerin

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

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Water

Lavender flower water with精油 components for soothing; contains essential oil, **includes 26 listed allergens** (e.g., linalool), caution for sensitive skin.

Borago Officinalis Extract

Plant extract for skin care and soothing; high levels of crude extract may sensitize.

Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract

Centaurea flower extract with flavonoids; astringent and conditioning, mild risk at high levels.

Chamomilla Recutita Flower/Leaf Extract

Chamomile extract, known for soothing and anti-inflammatory; caution for those with plant allergies.

Salvia Sclarea Extract

Clary sage extract for sebum regulation and soothing; required labeling as fragrance in lip products, potential sensitization at high levels.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Hyacinthus Orientalis Extract

Plant extract for skin conditioning and toning; assess allergen content and stability

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans

Hydrolyzed GAGs for hydration/conditioning; low MW, good penetration, low irritancy.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract

Bamboo stem extract; low-concentration skin conditioner, no significant irritancy data.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Citric Acid

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Benzyl Glycol

Solvent and viscosity regulator; aids solubility of actives, slight preservative boost

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
