Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Di-C12-13 Alkyl Tartrate
- Di-alkyl tartrate, mild emollient; low comedogenic risk, suitable for sensitive skin.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Physalis Angulata Extract
- Physalis extract rich in polysaccharides and flavonoids for soothing and skin protection. Extraction method affects activity; use standardized extracts for consistency.
- Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract
- Haematococcus pluvialis extract rich in astaxanthin; potent antioxidant; used in anti-aging and photoprotection formulas.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Propylheptyl Caprylate
- Light ester for smooth, non-volatile feel; non-comedogenic and low irritation
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Stearalkonium Hectorite
- Inorganic clay gellant with silky feel; must disperse well, high local dose can irritate.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone conditioning agent providing smooth, non-greasy feel; suitable for both hair and skin
- Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer
- Silicone copolymer for anti-caking and film formation, gives non-greasy slip.
- Triethoxysilylethyl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Hexyl Dimethicone
- Reactive silane-modified silicone for compatibility; provides smooth feel, silicone-based, non-comedogenic.
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system
- 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.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
