Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil

Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Octyldodecanol

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

Zinc Oxide

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Tricaprylin

Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract

Sea buckthorn fruit extract for skin conditioning; stable at low levels, check phototoxicity at high doses.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Xanthan Gum

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

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Calcium Alginate

Natural polysaccharide used as thickener and gel base; usually food-grade, but listed as fragrance here, verify supply chain origin.

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Tocopherol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
