Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone

Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol [Nano]

Nanoclearance UV stabilizer (UV 378); high stability, combines well, verify nano-particle regulatory status.

Oryza Sativa Starch

Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Lauryl Glucoside

Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate

Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers

Glycerin

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

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Benzoic Acid

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Citric Acid

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

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Glyceryl Laurate

Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Lens Esculenta Seed Extract

Lentil seed extract with proteins; provides skin protection and conditioning

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Tocopherol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
