Formulation view Sunscreen combining novel UVB absorbers with Tinosorb S for broad-spectrum protection. Uses lightweight ester solvents and acrylate copolymers for thickening. Ideal for summer outdoor use. The high concentration of chemical filters requires precise formulation; phosphate starch aids in oil absorption, reducing shine and improving the overall matte, comfortable texture of the product.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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.
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- Distarch Phosphate
- Crosslinked starch phosphate; absorbent/anticaking, may feel dry at high levels
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone
- Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Ceteareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic cleanser and foaming agent for gentle, low-irritation formulations.
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
