Ingredients explained

Butane

Butane propellant; highly flammable, volatile; requires pressure vessel compliance.

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Octocrylene

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

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.

P-Anisic Acid

Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Thermus Thermophillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

PEG-8 Laurate

PEG-8 laurate, non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing aid; good solubilization, note PEGs may increase formula permeation.

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Triethanolamine

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

Synthetic thickener and emulsion stabilizer for gels or emulsions; generally inert to skin; watch residual monomers.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Drometrizole Trisiloxane

UVB sunscreens agent; limited by EU, must be used within strict limits.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract / Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Combination or variant of Scutellaria extracts; consistent antioxidant and soothing profile. Control batch-to-batch active consistency.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
