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.

Water/Aqua/Eau

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

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Propanediol

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

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Aluminum Stearate

Aluminum stearate used as anticaking, emulsion stabilizer, and viscosity controller; restricted to IV/150 uses, avoid direct contact with acids.

Glycerin

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

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.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Resveratrol

Potent polyphenol antioxidant <1%; light-sensitive, needs antioxidants/chelators

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Synthetic Wax

Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

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

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Xanthan Gum

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

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

C20-40 Pareth-10

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride

Diamonium surfactant; superior conditioning for damaged hair, milder than mono

Polyquaternium-67

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Phenoxyethanol

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