Formulation view SPF sunscreen with water, oil, and silicone phases; cyclopentasiloxane ensures smooth texture. Multiple UVB/UVA filters, HA/calcium lactate hydrate, Vitamin A antioxidants, preservatives and silicone copolymer extend longevity. For commute and light outdoor; formulators note high fragrance/preservative variety, sensitive skin needs patch test.

Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Dimethicone

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

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate

Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

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

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Isopropyl Isostearate

Light emollient/ester for silky feel; stable, O/W compatible, potentially comedogenic at high levels.

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Decyl Esters

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Decyl Esters, synthetic oil for moisturizing/film/hair, low irritation, low comedogenicity

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Polydecene

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

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Calcium Lactate

Calcium lactate as chelator/buffer/astringent with keratolytic support; check pH and compatibility to avoid local irritation.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Triethanolamine

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

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

Triisostearin

Polyglyceryl ester, emulsifier and thickener; no mineral oil, check viscosity.

Hydrolyzed Algin

Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution

BHA

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); oil-phase antioxidant. Use <0.05%. Controversial at high levels.

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Polycaprolactone

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

D-Limonene

Citrus terpene used as fragrance and skin conditioner; EU allergen, may cause sensitization at high levels, must be labeled.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Ci 60725

Solvent Violet 13 synthetic dye; restricted in certain products, potential allergen, strict regulatory compliance needed.
