Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Cetearyl Isononanoate
- Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer
- Anionic polymer for antistatic properties and film formation; common in blow-dry sprays, forms easily washed-off film.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Ceteareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Hydrolyzed Eruca Sativa Leaf
- Hydrolyzed Eruca Sativa leaf extract; hydrolyzed plant protein for hydration and nourishment, no specific compatibility issues
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Arginine Pca
- Arginine PCA, small molecule humectant enhancing skin hydration; low sensitization, suitable for sensitive skin, may feel slightly sticky at high levels.
- Hoya Lacunosa Flower Extract
- Skin conditioning extract claimed for antioxidant/calm benefits; confirm standardized extract process.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Extract
- Marine algae extract for humectancy and soothing; check heavy metals and microbial limits.
- 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
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
