Ingredients explained
- Avobenzone
- Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Octisalate
- Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Oxybenzone
- Organic UV absorber for sunscreens; ecotoxicity concerns at high long-term levels, follow local regulations.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate
- Polyglyceryl-3 distearate; natural-origin emulsifier; mild, suitable for sensitive skin, oil phase stable.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
