Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

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.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Dimethicone

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Niacinamide

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

Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for thickening and stability; silicone-based, provides emollience, non-comedogenic, used in powders.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Disodium Edta

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

Peg-8 Laurate

PEG-8 laurate, non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing aid; good solubilization, note PEGs may increase formula permeation.

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Hexyldecanol

Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Pyrus Malus Seed Extract

Apple seed extract rich in polyphenols for antioxidant and skin conditioning; extraction process affects activity.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Red 33

FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.

Tocopherol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
