Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Octyl Methoxycinnamate

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor

UVB filter, requires combination with UVA filters; provides photostability, usage limit by regulation.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Octyl Triazone

Not decoded yet

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

PEG-90M

Polyethylene glycol-based emulsifier and thickener at 0.1–0.5%; highly hydrophilic, may contain trace PEG impurities, caution for sensitive skin

Carica Papaya Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for nourishment and antioxidant benefits; used as a low-concentration additive.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan

Not decoded yet

Citrus Medica Limonum Extract

Not decoded yet

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

Methylisothiazolinone

Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk

Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract rich in EGCG; antioxidant, high concentration may cause sensitization

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
