Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Isodecyl Neopentanoate
- Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter
- Shea butter, occlusive emollient for dry skin and hair; high in lipids, caution for oily skin
- Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid
- UV absorber and light stabilizer; EU regulated, check max levels and formulation stability
- Drometrizole Trisiloxane
- UVB sunscreens agent; limited by EU, must be used within strict limits.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Zea Mays Oil/Corn Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil / Apricot Kernel Oil
- Apricot kernel oil, plant-based lightweight emollient; moderate comedogenicity, evaluate usage for oily acne-prone skin, potential allergens.
- Passiflora Edulis Oil/Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Argilla/Magnesium Aluminium Silicate
- Kaolin/Clays, sebum absorbent and thickener. High absorbency can dry skin; balance with humectants.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Oil / Rice Bran Oil
- Rice bran oil with gamma-tocopherol and oryzanol; emollient antioxidant; patch-test for lipid sensitivity.
- Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide
- Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499 / Iron Oxides
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77491 Ci 77491

- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499 / Iron Oxides
- Not decoded yet
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
