Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Cyclotetrasiloxane
- Volatile silicone providing slip; D4 is restricted in EU rinse-off products and requires labeling for leave-on use.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Ceteareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- 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.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethané
- Not decoded yet
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Benzophenone-3
- Not decoded yet
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Sorbitan Palmitate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Glucono Delta Lactone
- Not decoded yet
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Waltheria Indica Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Ferulic Acid
- Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Alpha-Arbutin
- Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids
