Ingredients explained
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Avobenzone
- Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.
- Octinoxate
- Water-soluble UVB absorber for sunscreen; concentration limited by regulations, may irritate sensitive skin
- Octisalate
- Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Oxybenzone
- Organic UV absorber for sunscreens; ecotoxicity concerns at high long-term levels, follow local regulations.
- C18-38 Alkyl Hydroxystearoyl Stearate
- Fatty ester emollient for slip and spread. Non-ionic and low irritation; monitor for esters' impact on sensitive skin or microbiome.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- C20-40 Alkyl Stearate
- Long-chain ester for emolliency and thickening; 0.5–5% typical; hydrophobic, requires emulsification
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
