Formulation view High-protection sunscreen combining multiple UVA/UVB filters. Includes sodium hyaluronate, silica for oil control, and polyols for moisture. Suited for all skin types seeking a light, matte finish. Formulator note: Multiple filters enhance photostability but increase complexity; silica provides a matte effect, requiring careful particle selection to avoid pilling or grittiness.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Diisopropyl Sebacate
- Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel
- Dibutyl Adipate
- Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
- Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.
- Tris-Biphenyl Triazine
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- "1,2-Hexanediol"
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Bis-Ethylhexyl Hydroxydimethoxy Benzylmalonate
- Not decoded yet
- Sarcosine
- Sarcosine, skin conditioning/pH buffer; check charge interaction with cationic surfactants.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Disodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
