Ingredients explained

Titanium Dioxide 4.1%

Not decoded yet

Zinc Oxide 11.5%. Water

Not decoded yet

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

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

Propylene glycol dicaprylate

Not decoded yet

Disiloxane

Low-viscosity silicone for defoaming and slip; non-comedogenic, volatile, for light formulas.

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.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2

Not decoded yet

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Butyloctyl salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER

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

Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration

Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract

Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.

Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract

Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract

Roselle flower extract rich in anthocyanins, used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract

Longleaf pine needle extract for toning; contains essential oils, allergen risk for sensitive skin.

Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract

Plant extract for basic skin conditioning; low usage, ensure raw material consistency

Pueraria Lobata Root Extract

Kudzu root extract as humectant; contains isoflavones, limit dose due to endocrine activity.

Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract

Enantia chlorantha bark; traditional African herb for skin. Very limited data; require supplier safety dossier.

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Oleanolic acid

Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Glyceryl caprylate

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

Aluminum hydroxide

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.

Sorbitan caprylate

Non-ionic oil-soluble emulsifier for W/O systems at 1–5%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Synthetic fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

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

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Magnesium sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Iron Oxides

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