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.

Cetearyl Isononanoate

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

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

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

Water Aqua

Not decoded yet

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

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

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

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

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

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

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.

Glyceryl Laurate

Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.

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.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Propylene Glycol

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate

Mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; low foaming, gentle

Tocopheryl Glucoside

Water-soluble tocopherol glycoside; antioxidant and skin conditioner. Reduces lipid oxidation, low irritation.

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
