Formulation view Water-based sunscreen using multiple chemical filters (OMC, OCT) for broad-spectrum protection. Includes niacinamide, squalane, and centella for hydration and soothing. Preserved with 1,2-Hexanediol. Factory note: High load of chemical filters requires rigorous photostability testing. Best for normal to combination skin, needing frequent reapplication to prevent degradation.

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%.

Butylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Octocrylene

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Niacinamide (20

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

C14-22 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate

Polyglyceryl ester emulsifier; mild, non-ionic, suitable for O/W emulsions with good stability.

Propanediol

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Centella Asiatica Extract (1

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract

Tea tree (Melaleuca) extract for emollient skin conditioning; monitor sensitivity.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract

Sea buckthorn fruit extract for skin conditioning; stable at low levels, check phototoxicity at high doses.

Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract

Grape fruit extract; rich in polyphenols; skin conditioner; check compatibility with strong oxidizers

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Uncaria Sinensis Extract

Uncaria sinensis extract with alkaloids; traditional sedative, caution on topical use, limited data

Glycerin

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Disodium EDTA

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

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine

Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, bio-mimetic emulsifier; gentle emulsifier and skin conditioner, suitable for liposomal systems.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Sucrose Stearate

Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.

Glutathione

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

Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Asiatic Acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Madecassic Acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Tropolone

Natural phenolic compound used as a skin conditioner; strong antioxidant activity, often a fragrance alternative.

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Potassium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic salt, excellent humectant; efficacy varies with MW, best with occlusive base
