Ingredients explained

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

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%.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Zinc Oxide

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

Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract

Persimmon fruit extract; botanical skin conditioner, low concentration, offers moisturizing and soothing.

Juglans Regia Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Morus Alba Fruit Extract

White mulberry fruit extract; antioxidant-rich, used in skincare, generally low irritancy, test on sensitive skin.

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract

Pear fruit extract with polyphenols and antioxidants; moisturizing and protective; juice-based, requires preservative and stability management.

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract

Tomato extract; antioxidant and conditioner. Contains carotenoids; moderate photostability. Watch for color variance.

Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration

C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for thickening and stability; silicone-based, provides emollience, non-comedogenic, used in powders.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate

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

Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dimethicone

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
