Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Octocrylene

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

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol [Nano]

Nanoclearance UV stabilizer (UV 378); high stability, combines well, verify nano-particle regulatory status.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides

Hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides; waxy emollient/viscosity modifier, soft feel, plant-derived.

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Behenate

Not decoded yet

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Xanthan Gum

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Amino acid-based mild cleanser with fine foam; water-soluble.

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Tocopherol

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