Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexyl Benzoate

Not decoded yet

Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Tris-Biphenyl Triazine

Not decoded yet

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

C14-22 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Lepidium Sativum Sprout Extract

Garden cress sprout extract, plant-based skin conditioner; may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin at high concentrations.

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Physalis Angulata Extract

Physalis extract rich in polysaccharides and flavonoids for soothing and skin protection. Extraction method affects activity; use standardized extracts for consistency.

Melanin

Melanin as pigment or UV absorber; natural colorant, shade depends on purity, used in dark concealers.

Camellia Sinensis Extract

Green tea extract, polyphenols, antioxidant, soothing, low comedogenic.

Plankton Extract

Plankton extract for skin conditioning; low concentrations typical, ensure source purity to avoid microbial contamination.

Cichorium Intybus Extract

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate

Non-ionic emulsifier/emollient with humectant properties; viscous liquid.

Disiloxane

Low-viscosity silicone for defoaming and slip; non-comedogenic, volatile, for light formulas.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer

Film former and hair conditioner complex for styling and protection; wheat protein may trigger allergies.

Propylene Glycol

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

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Glycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Lecithin

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Palmitoyl Hydroxypropyltrimonium Amylopectin/Glycerin Crosspolymer

Cationic modified starch for conditioning and suspension; balance charge at high use.
