Ingredients explained
- Avobenzone
- Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Octisalate
- Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Oxybenzone
- Organic UV absorber for sunscreens; ecotoxicity concerns at high long-term levels, follow local regulations.
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Methyl Trimethicone
- Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate
- Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.
- Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil
- Kukui nut oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids; provides moisture and conditioning, no clear comedogenic data.
- Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate
- Waxy emollient for feel enhancement; increases viscosity at high levels.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract
- Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract
- Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid
- Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Yeast Polysaccharides
- Yeast-derived polysaccharides (e.g., β-glucan) for film formation, humectancy and barrier repair; well-suited to post-procedure care.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Dehydroxanthan Gum
- Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
