Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

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

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Ethylhexyl Isononanoate

Light synthetic ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; low irritation, non-comedogenic

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.

Glycerin

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters

Lightweight emollient and film-former; improves hair slip, generally low concentration.

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-11

Not decoded yet

Cetearyl Nonanoate

Not decoded yet

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone

Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.

Ethylhexyl Triazone

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

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers

Pentylene Glycol

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

Sodium Oleoyl Sarcosinate

Not decoded yet

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Citric Acid

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Disodium EDTA

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

Piroctone Olamine

Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.

Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine

Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, bio-mimetic emulsifier; gentle emulsifier and skin conditioner, suitable for liposomal systems.

Sodium Oleate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
