Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
- Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid
- UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens
- Caprylic Capric Triglyceride
- Vegetable-derived ester, light moisturizer; not mineral oil, low comedogenic, suits oily skin, stable at high temps
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water
- Bitter orange flower water offering floral fragrance and mild conditioning.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Oryza Sativa Starch
- Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry
- Thermus Thermophillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention
- 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.
- Pinus Sylvestris Bark Extract
- Scotch pine bark extract; flavonoids support microcirculation, watch for allergens
- Betula Alba Juice
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
- Aloe extract powder for soothing/moisturizing; low solubility, needs dispersion
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate
- Potent anti-inflammatory and soothing agent; often combined with glycyrrhiza extracts; stability depends on pH and cationic system compatibility.
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
