Formulation view O/W sunscreen CC cream combining chemical UVA/UVB filters with titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum protection and tint. Light esters like isostearyl isostearate ensure a non-greasy finish, enhanced with niacinamide and palmitoyl tripeptide-38. Silica and alumina refine texture and pH. Ideal for combination to oily skin during daytime; dry types should layer moisturizer. Formulator note: High active load stresses emulsion stability; uniform dispersion of nano-TiO2 is crucial to prevent pilling, while fragrance allergens like geraniol require consideration for sensitive users.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Isostearyl Isostearate

Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dimethicone

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

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

Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2

Not decoded yet

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Olus Oil

Squalane derivative or plant oil for emollience; specify exact source

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Niacinamide

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Alumina

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

Citric Acid

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

Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum

Hydrolyzed Gum Acacia, natural colloid for thickening and conditioning, low comedogenic.

Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum

Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

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

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
