Ingredients explained
- Demineralized Water
- Not decoded yet
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Glyceryl Monostearate Se
- Not decoded yet
- L-Glutathione
- Not decoded yet
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Benzophenone-3
- Not decoded yet
- C12-C15 Alkyl Benzoate
- Not decoded yet
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Vitamin E
- Tocopherol antioxidant; >0.5% may need encapsulation or synergists to prevent oxidation.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Octyl Methoxycinnamate
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol
- UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.
- Arbutin
- Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.
- Tinosorb-M
- Not decoded yet
- 1,3 Butylene glycol
- 1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
