Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Pentaerythrityl Distearate
- Oil-soluble emulsifier/wax; improves cream hardness and shine, typical use 1-5%, non-ionic
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Mannan
- Plant-derived film former for powders. In dry state, it is highly absorbent and can feel tacky on skin.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil
- Bergamot peel oil with EU limits; furanocoumarin content causes photosensitivity, avoid in AM or stabilize
- Citrus Limon Peel Oil
- Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Artemisia Vulgaris Oil
- Wormwood oil, potent essential oil containing thujone; high allergen potential, must stay below threshold and be labeled
- Juniperus Virginiana Oil
- Virginia juniper oil for fragrance/tonic; contains terpenes, irritant, control concentration.
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.
- Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil
- Vetiver essential oil for woody scent; high concentration has phototoxic risks.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Citrus Aurantifolia Oil
- Bitter orange essential oil; fragrance and conditioning. Phototoxic; use in AM formulas requires sun protection. EU restricted.
- Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil
- Vetiver root oil for fragrance and toning; natural essential oil may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Zingiber Officinale Root Oil
- Ginger root oil for fragrance; contains gingerols, irritant, use very low concentration, avoid for sensitive skin.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
