Formulation view Gel-form sunscreen combining chemical and physical filters. Dimethicone enhances slip; tea extract provides antioxidant benefits. Suitable for oily skin. Factory observation: Polyacrylamide residue risks require strict quality control; zinc oxide powder tends to absorb oil, necessitating silicone blending to prevent a heavy, caking feel.

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%.
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Peg/Ppg-20/6 Dimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Cetyl Dimethicone
- Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.
- Camellia Sinensis Extract
- Green tea extract, polyphenols, antioxidant, soothing, low comedogenic.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol
- Dichlorobenzyl alcohol, preservative and antimicrobial; restricted V/22, check compatibility.
- Micrococcus Lysate
- Micrococcus ferment lysate with peptides/metabolites; low concentration skin conditioner, ensure sterile process.
- Tetrasodium Edta
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
