Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol
- UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.
- Cetearyl Isononanoate
- Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin
- Diisopropyl Adipate
- Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic
- Isodecyl Neopentanoate
- Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.
- 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.
- Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Talc-based oil control and texture enhancer for powder products; safe and non-toxic
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Bis-Ethylhexyl Hydroxydimethoxy Benzylmalonate
- Not decoded yet
- C10-18 Triglycerides
- Mixture of C10-18 triglycerides for emolliency, conditioning, and solvency; low comedogenic risk but occlusive.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- 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
- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Glyceryl Dibehenate
- Glycerol dibehenate as emollient and skin conditioner. High-carbon chain ester providing slip; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
