Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Benzophenone-3
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor
- UVB filter, requires combination with UVA filters; provides photostability, usage limit by regulation.
- Diisopropyl Adipate
- Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic
- Glyceryl Oleate Citrate
- Emulsifier, with cleansing and moisturizing functions
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
