Ingredients explained
- Avobenzone
- Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Octyl Salicylate
- Not decoded yet
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil
- Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
- Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation
- Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract
- Lavender extract for fragrance and toning; contains linalool, potential allergen.
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- A-Terpinyl Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Dimethylhydroxy Furanone
- Synthetic fragrance with musky/fruity notes; used for specific scent profiling, check fragrance labeling requirements.
- Nonanal
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Vanillin
- Fragrance component; EU limit 0.85%, potential allergen, oxidation sensitive.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
