Formulation view Water-alcohol sunscreen gel with Homosalate, Tinosorb S, and Octocrylene for broad-spectrum protection. Niacinamide helps with oil control; Silica enhances texture. Dipropylene Glycol acts as a solvent. Ideal for oily skin in summer, offering a refreshing, oil-free feel. Formulator's note: The multi-spectrum UV filter combination ensures broad coverage; the alcohol base evaporates quickly, requiring attention to tolerance for dry skin types.

Ingredients explained

Water

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

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Alcohol Denat

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Silica

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate

UV-B absorber with usage limits; requires combination with other filters to prevent degradation.

Octocrylene

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

Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 Dimethicone

Non-ionic silicone emulsifier for stabilizing emulsions; provides a silky texture.

Methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 Dimethicone

Modified silicone emulsifier combining emollience and emulsification to adjust product texture.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Dimethicone

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Disodium EDTA

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

Panthenol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Glycerin

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

Tricholoma Matsutake Extract

Matsutake extract with amino acids and polysaccharides for hydration and antioxidant care. Add in aqueous phase; watch heat sterilization impact on heat-sensitive polysaccharides.

Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract

Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract

Rhododendron Chrysanthum Leaf Extract

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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