Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- 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
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Synthetic Sapphire
- Not decoded yet
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Cucumis Sativus Juice
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Oleic Acid
- Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Linolenic Acid
- Omega-6 fatty acid for barrier repair; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants and low light exposure
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
