Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Octocrylene

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

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Homosalate

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides

Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option

Synthetic Beeswax

Synthetic wax for binding/emulsion stability; replaces natural wax, lower allergenic risk

Triacontanyl Pvp

High-MW film former and thickener; gives slip and longevity, high levels risk heavy texture.

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract

Glycyrrhiza inflata extract; soothes and anti-irritates. Use at 0.1-1%; monitor glycyrrhizin levels.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Acrylates-C10-30-Alkyl-Acrylate-Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Dimethicone

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

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTAs; binds metal ions to prevent oxidation; biodegradable and low irritancy.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Phenoxyethanol

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

Perfume

Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
