Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Propylene Glycol

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

Diisostearyl malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glycerin

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

Polyglyceryl-4 isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate

Waxy emollient for feel enhancement; increases viscosity at high levels.

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone

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

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate

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

Polyglyceryl-3-Diisostearate

Not decoded yet

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Aluminum hydroxide

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Propylene carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Geranium Maculatum Oil

Botanical essential oil for fragrance and toning; contains allergens, caution for sensitive skin.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
