Ingredients explained

Avene Thermal Spring Water

Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Coco-Caprylate

Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.

Titanium Dioxide [Nano]

Nano white pigment and UV blocker; provides physical sun protection, watch inhalation.

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Glycerin

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

Silica

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Bis-Ethylhexyl Hydroxydimethoxy Benzylmalonate

Not decoded yet

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Beta-Sitosterol

Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.

C30-45 Alkyl Methicone

C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone; high-viscosity silicone providing intense occlusion and slip. Used in premium skincare and base makeup.

C30-45 Olefin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil

Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Disodium EDTA

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides

Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

Poloxamer 188

Not decoded yet

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate

Humectant and antistatic agent for skin and hair; biocompatible and low irritation. Large molecular weight limits deep penetration.

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate

Mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; low foaming, gentle

Talc.Talc

Not decoded yet

Tocopherol

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

Tocopheryl Glucoside

Water-soluble tocopherol glycoside; antioxidant and skin conditioner. Reduces lipid oxidation, low irritation.

Water

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