Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Diisopropyl Sebacate
- Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel
- 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
- Ci 61565 Green 6
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 60725 / Violet 2
- CI 60725 (Violet 2), azo dye; for color, restricted in some markets, verify compliance
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate
- Synthetic thickener and emulsion stabilizer for gels or emulsions; generally inert to skin; watch residual monomers.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Terephthalylidene Dicamphor' Sulfonic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Parfum Fragrance
- Generic fragrance, may contain multiple allergens; label per EU 26, test for sensitive skin
