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.

Dibutyl Adipate

Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

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.

Glycerin

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

Ci 77891

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

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

Decyl Glucoside

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

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Troxerutin

Not decoded yet

Caprylyl Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Pentylene Glycol

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

Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer thickener at 0.5–2%; incompatible with cationics, dilute first, PEG-modified

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Maltodextrin

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

Diosmine

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Propylene Glycol

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

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Bioactive marker in Evening Primrose Oil, antioxidant and soothing; used at low levels

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Escin

Horse chestnut extract for venous circulation and anti-inflammatory; caution near eyes; potential plant-based allergen

Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract

Plant extract with polysaccharides and flavonoids; for firming and anti-irritation, < 1%.

Ci 75810

CI 75810 (Zinc Oxide), inorganic mineral sunscreen. Reflects UV only, low sensitization, but requires high loading (15-25%).

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oil

Blueberry seed oil rich in GLA; supports skin barrier repair; moderate comedogenic risk, patch test recommended.

Ammonium Glycyrrhizate

Soothing anti-inflammatory and emulsifier; derived from licorice, minor allergen risk

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract

Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Tropolone

Natural phenolic compound used as a skin conditioner; strong antioxidant activity, often a fragrance alternative.

Tocopherol

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

Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for moisture, anti-static, and barrier repair.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Sodium Citrate

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

Citric Acid

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