Ingredients explained

Water

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

Dimethicone

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

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Propanediol

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

Diethylhexyl Succinate

Succinyl diisobutyrate, lightweight emollient and solvent; good spread, non-comedogenic

Glycerin

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

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Cyclomethicone

Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026

PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.

PEG-10 Dimethicone

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

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone

Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Sorbitan Sesquiisostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; very low irritation when pure, but patch testing is recommended for sensitive consumers.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Phenoxyethanol

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

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

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.

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Aluminum Distearate

Solid soap salt, anticaking and emulsion stabilizer; for powders/creams, provides matte slip

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Polysilicone-2

Not decoded yet

Vibrio Alginolyticus Ferment Filtrate

Not decoded yet

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Alteromonas Ferment Filtrate

Not decoded yet

Maris Sal

Natural mineral skin conditioner for exfoliation or soothing; high concentrations (>5%) may cause dryness due to osmotic pressure.

Sea Salt

Sea salt for exfoliation/minerals; particle size matters, high ionic strength when dissolved, check compatibility.

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Algae

Not decoded yet

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Turmeric Root Extract

Curcumin source, anti-inflammatory; high doses cause staining, check stability, caution in pregnancy

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Geraniol

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Linalool

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Ci 77491

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

Iron Oxides

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

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499

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