Ingredients explained
- Zinc
- Usually present as oxide derivatives for SPF or anti-inflammatory; elemental zinc is cytotoxic and prohibited
- Titanium Dioxide 5
- Not decoded yet
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- C15-19 Alkane
- Isoparaffinic oil; light texture, petroleum-derived, requires full hydrotreatment per regulations.
- Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate
- Ester emollient; light oil feel; low irrit, low comed, good for fresh systems
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Cetyl Dimethicone
- Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate
- Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.
- Polyhydroxystearic Acid
- Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.
- 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
- Polyglyceryl-2 Isostearate
- Gentle emulsifier for O/W systems; sulfate-free, suitable for sensitive skin
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
