Formulation view Complex sunscreen combining modern and traditional UV filters like Tinosorb S and Ethylhexyl Salicylate. Oil phase includes shea and grape seed oils. Preserved with parabens and phenoxyethanol. Suited for sensitive skin daily use. Formulator note: Multiple filters ensure broad coverage, but oil-heavy matrix requires stability checks; Octocrylene faces environmental concerns.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone

Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Glycerin

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

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.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

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

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Citric Acid

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

Propylene Glycol

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

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
