Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder

Aloe extract powder for soothing/moisturizing; low solubility, needs dispersion

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Octocrylene

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

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

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

Glycol Stearate

Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract

Sweet almond extract, oils/phenolics for moisture/repair, low allergenicity but label nut origin

Hydrolyzed Silk

Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin

Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract

Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate

Vegetable-derived oil ester with emollient and emulsifying properties; improves light stability, 1–5%.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

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

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Disodium EDTA

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

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Dipotassium EDTA

Not decoded yet

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Imidazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.

Tocopherol

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

Lecithin

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

Propylene Glycol

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

B-Sitosterol

Not decoded yet

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
