Formulation view O/W sunscreen with barrier repair focus: ceramides NP/AP/EOP, phytosphingosine, and cholesterol. Hybrid UV filters include zinc oxide and chemical agents. Light texture from isohexadecane and cyclopentasiloxane. Simple preservation. Suitable for dry, sensitive skin. Formulators note lipid complexing aims to enhance barrier function while mitigating physical filter greasiness.

Ingredients explained

Water

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

1,3 Butylene glycol

1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Dimethicone

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

Ethylhexyl-Glycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin, moisturizer/boosting agent; enhances preservation/moisture, gentle, often combined with humectants.

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids for nourishment and repair; heavy texture.

Carrot Oil

Not decoded yet

Zinc Oxide

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Benzophenone-3

Not decoded yet

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Coco Mono Ethanolamide

Not decoded yet

Vitamin E Acetate

Not decoded yet

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Butylated Hydroxytoluene

BHT synthetic antioxidant for lipid stability; check EU labeling limits and sensitivity issues.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

PEG -150 Distearate

Not decoded yet

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Triethanolamine

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

Citric Acid

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

Ifra Certified Non-Allergenic Fragrance
