Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Water
- Hamamelis water; tannins/flavonoids for astringent and soothing; low conc, generally well-tolerated
- 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.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
