Formulation view Features titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as UV filters, supported by cucumber and tea extracts. Contains Vitamin C derivatives and cucumber for soothing. Silicone polymers provide a smooth finish, ideal for sensitive skin. Factory note: water phase with multiple botanicals requires robust preservation testing; iron oxides provide tint, requiring careful shade control.

Ingredients explained

Titanium Dioxide

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

Zinc Oxide

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Glycerin

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

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

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.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Spirulina Maxima Extract

Spirulina extract for smoothing and conditioning; verify stability with fragrances and UV light.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract

Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data

Palmaria Palmata Extract

Algae extract for barrier protection; concentration supplier-dependent

Disodium Lauriminodipropionate Tocopheryl Phosphates

Gentle two-phase/ionic cleanser & conditioner, vitamin E phosphate; mild but needs compatibility testing

Citrus Paradisi Seed Extract

Natural antioxidant and antimicrobial; coumarins present, assess phototoxicity risk

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Butylene Glycol

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, 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.

Cyclotetrasiloxane

Volatile silicone providing slip; D4 is restricted in EU rinse-off products and requires labeling for leave-on use.

BHT

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

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Glucose

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

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.

Iron Oxides (Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499)
