Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- C12-15 Alkylbenzoate
- Oil-soluble UV filter or emollient for oil phase; requires combination with other filters for adequate protection; monitor stability.
- 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.
- Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Dibutyl Adipate
- Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTAs; binds metal ions to prevent oxidation; biodegradable and low irritancy.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Distarch Phosphate
- Crosslinked starch phosphate; absorbent/anticaking, may feel dry at high levels
- Sucrose Polystearate
- Sucrose polyester emulsifier, non-ionic and mild; often blended with water- or oil-soluble surfactants to tune emulsification efficiency.
- Hydrogen
- Not decoded yet
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- VP/VA Copolymer
- VA/VP copolymer film former; provides hair fixing; avoid direct contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
- Natriumhydroxid
- Not decoded yet
- Natriumchloride
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Trisodium EDTA
- Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.
- 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
