Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Glycerin

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

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.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Amino acid-based mild cleanser with fine foam; water-soluble.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Silica Silylate

Silylate silica for anticaking, defoaming, emulsion stabilization, film-forming; improves powder flow/texture

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Simethicone

Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Tocopherol

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide

Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77499/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture
