Ingredients explained

Avene Thermal Spring Water

Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

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

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Cetearyl Isononanoate

Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone

Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.

Lauryl Glucoside

Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate

Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Glyceryl Dibehenate

Glycerol dibehenate as emollient and skin conditioner. High-carbon chain ester providing slip; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides

Hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides; waxy emollient/viscosity modifier, soft feel, plant-derived.

Polyacrylate-13
