Ingredients explained

Water

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Cetyl Alcohol

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate/Triethoxycaprylylsilane Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract

Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract

Active extract with saponins and flavonoids; gentle humectant and barrier repair ingredient

Acetyl Tyrosine

Tyrosine derivative used in tanning or skin conditioning; acts as a precursor or modulator in formulas.

Butylene Glycol

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

Arbutin

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate

Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glycerin

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

Glycol Stearate

Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Cyclotetrasiloxane

Volatile silicone providing slip; D4 is restricted in EU rinse-off products and requires labeling for leave-on use.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

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

PEG-75 Stearate

PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.

Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Niacinamide

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

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Kojic Acid

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; EU limit 1% in water, unstable and requires light protection, potential irritation.

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Triethanolamine

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
