Ingredients explained

Water

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

Dibutyl Adipate

Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Titanium Dioxide

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

Zinc Oxide

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

Glycerin

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

VP/Hexadecene Copolymer

Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone conditioning agent providing smooth, non-greasy feel; suitable for both hair and skin

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

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

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

C13-16 Isoparaffin

Lightweight isoparaffinic solvent for degreasing and texture adjustment; inert solvent, no inherent allergenicity, but may impact skin barrier with prolonged heavy use.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

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

Candelilla Wax

Carnauba alternative; plant-based solid wax providing hardness and gloss; mild and low comedogenic risk.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Disodium EDTA

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Butylene Glycol

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

Acacia Seyal Gum Extract

Natural plant gum humectant providing slip and film formation; high concentrations may affect rheology

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Lactobacillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Dna

DNA for skin conditioning and humectancy; high molecular weight polymer, usually from fermentation or extraction, external use as humectant
