Ingredients explained

Water

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Zinc Oxide

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

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Dimethicone

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

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Peg-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Phenoxyethanol

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Citric Acid

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Glycerin

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

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

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract

Bark extract used as an antioxidant; ensure consistent raw material sourcing.

Peg-7 Trimethylolpropane Coconut Ether

PEG-containing non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; monitor PEG contamination and sensitive skin compatibility.

Glucose

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

Silica

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Maltose

Maltose humectant/skin conditioner; low sweetness, masking; monitor microbial growth.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
