Formulation view Uses a water-in-oil system with novel UVA/UVB filters for broad-spectrum protection. Film-forming methacrylate polymers and silicones enhance durability and texture. Plant extracts offer soothing benefits, while alcohol aids rapid evaporation. Suitable for oily or sweaty skin seeking a matte, lightweight finish, though alcohol may irritate sensitive types.

Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Dibutyl Adipate

Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

C20-22 Alkyl Phosphate

Long-chain phosphate surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; anionic, incompatible with cationic quaternary ammonium compounds.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

C20-22 Alcohols

C20-22 fatty alcohols for emulsion stability and viscosity; provide slip, high levels can be heavy.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Musa Sapientum Fruit Extract

Fruit extract for skin conditioning; check formulation stability.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Rose Extract

Plant extract for aromatherapy and skin conditioning; verify allergen labeling.

Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract

Pear fruit extract with polyphenols and antioxidants; moisturizing and protective; juice-based, requires preservative and stability management.

Prunus Domestica Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Cucumis Melo Fruit Extract

Melon fruit extract rich in antioxidants and polysaccharides for soothing and hydration; natural, may contain allergens, test for sensitization.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract

Ivy extract for soothing/astringent skin care; usually acts in synergy.

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
