Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

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

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

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

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Dibutyl Adipate

Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

C20-22 Alkyl Phosphate

Long-chain phosphate surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; anionic, incompatible with cationic quaternary ammonium compounds.

C20-22 Alcohols

C20-22 fatty alcohols for emulsion stability and viscosity; provide slip, high levels can be heavy.

Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax

Japanese lacquer wax for binding; plant wax with occlusive properties.

Copernicia Cerifera Wax

High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Musa Sapientum Fruit Extract

Fruit extract for skin conditioning; check formulation stability.

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Polyurethane-1

Not decoded yet

Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract

Pear fruit extract with polyphenols and antioxidants; moisturizing and protective; juice-based, requires preservative and stability management.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Oryza Sativa Bran Wax

Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Prunus Domestica Fruit Extract

Cucumis Melo Fruit Extract

Melon fruit extract rich in antioxidants and polysaccharides for soothing and hydration; natural, may contain allergens, test for sensitization.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract

Ivy extract for soothing/astringent skin care; usually acts in synergy.

Bifida Ferment Filtrate

Ferment filtrate with prebiotics/metabolites for conditioning; high sterility requirements.

Tocopherol
