Ingredients explained
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- 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.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Cetyl Dimethicone
- Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer
- Silicone copolymer for anti-caking and film formation, gives non-greasy slip.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Diethylhexyl 2,6-Naphthalate
- Emollient with UV-absorbing and solvent properties; usage levels should be controlled.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Avena Sativa Kernel Flour
- Oat flour; physical exfoliant/absorbent; beta-glucan for soothing, control particle size.
- Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
- Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Hydrolyzed Oat Protein
- Hydrolyzed Oat Protein; small peptides for static control, hair/skin conditioning, soothing.
- Potassium Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein
- Not decoded yet
