Formulation view Features a physical sunscreen base with high-concentration zinc oxide, enhanced by silicone derivatives for a dry, matte finish. Niacinamide is included to improve skin texture, alongside botanical extracts. A composite preservative system is used. Suitable for oily to combination skin. Factory observation: precise dispersion of silicone components is critical to avoid a greasy feel.

Ingredients explained
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- 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.
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Lauryl PEG-8 Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant for cleansing/conditioning; low allergen risk, avoid inhalation.
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Tridecyl Salicylate
- Long-lasting emollient, low irritation; high usage or occlusive systems may be comedogenic, use caution for oily skin.
- Trilaureth-4 Phosphate
- Mild surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; low irritation profile.
- Dimethiconol/Propylsilsesquioxane/Silicate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Lauryl PEG-10 Tris silylethyl Dimethicone
- Silicone polymer for emulsifying and conditioning; provides silky texture, contains PEG and silicones
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Disodium Lauriminodipropionate Tocopheryl Phosphates
- Gentle two-phase/ionic cleanser & conditioner, vitamin E phosphate; mild but needs compatibility testing
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol
- Ergothioneine analog antioxidant; stabilizes formula, protect from light.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Pod Extract
- Plant extract for hair conditioning and waving/straightening; may contain sensitizing actives
- Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract
- Tremella extract; strong humectant and antioxidant; water-soluble, suitable for anti-aging.
- Helianthus Annuus Sprout Extract
- Sunflower sprout extract; rich in actives for skin conditioning and anti-aging. Plant-derived, low irritation.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- Isoceteth-10
- Not decoded yet
- 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
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
