Ingredients explained

Avobenzone

Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.

Octinoxate

Water-soluble UVB absorber for sunscreen; concentration limited by regulations, may irritate sensitive skin

Octocrylene

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

Oxybenzone

Organic UV absorber for sunscreens; ecotoxicity concerns at high long-term levels, follow local regulations.

Water

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Sda 40B

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Xylitol

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

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Dimethicone

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

PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; contains PEG, check compatibility with ionic surfactants

Isostearic Acid

Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy

Silica

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

PEG/PPG-17/4 Dimethyl Ether

PEG/PPG polymer humectant; high levels may cause tackiness, balance with other agents

Piperidinepropionic Acid

Not decoded yet

Phytosteryl Macadamiate

Phytosteryl macadamiate for hair and skin care; good occlusion

2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Stable Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant protection; pH control needed for high doses.

Prunus Speciosa Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract

Herbal extract with flavonoids; skin conditioning agent, low photosensitization risk, potential irritation at high concentrations.

Isodonis Japonicus Leaf/Stalk Extract

Plant extract for soothing & fragrance; essential oil component, requires fragrance labeling.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Zanthoxylum Piperitum Peel Extract

Not decoded yet

PPG-17

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Behenic Acid

Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Batyl Alcohol

Squalane, non-pungent emollient 0-5%; low irritation, suits dry/sensitive skin, emulsion stabilizer.

PEG-30 Phytosterol

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Disodium EDTA

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

BHT

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

Cellulose Gum

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

Sodium Metaphosphate

Sodium metaphosphate; buffer and chelating agent; good water solubility, strongly alkaline, precise dosing required

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Dextrin Palmitate

Modified polysaccharide ester for emulsifying and anticaking; mild cleanser; used in solid soaps or powders.

Tocopherol

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

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Methylparaben

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Iron Oxides

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