Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- 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.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- 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.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
- Peptide conditioning agent; control pH to prevent degradation, used in hair and skin care.
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Indole Acetic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 Dimethicone
- Non-ionic silicone emulsifier for stabilizing emulsions; provides a silky texture.
- Methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone emulsifier combining emollience and emulsification to adjust product texture.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil
- Sweet orange oil; fragrance/antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use at night or with SPF.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Geranium Maculatum Oil
- Botanical essential oil for fragrance and toning; contains allergens, caution for sensitive skin.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil
- Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade
- Santalum Album Oil
- Essential oil fragrance, restricted under EU 26; monitor sensitization and phototoxicity
- Sorbitan Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
- Rose Flower Oil
- Natural essential oil for floral scent; use at trace levels to avoid irritation.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil
- German chamomile oil with alpha-bisabolol for soothing; essential oil with allergen risk, use low, label as fragrance.
- Styrax Benzoin Gum
- Natural resin thickener and fragrance carrier; may contain sensitizing constituents at high levels
- Commiphora Myrrha Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
