Ingredients explained

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Water

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Polyglyceryl-3 Ricinoleate

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Aluminum Stearate

Aluminum stearate used as anticaking, emulsion stabilizer, and viscosity controller; restricted to IV/150 uses, avoid direct contact with acids.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-9

Not decoded yet

Chondrus Crispus

Crisp chondrus seaweed extract; often used as thickener or skin conditioner; labeled as fragrance or conditioner, check formulation context.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
