Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Octocrylene

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glycerin

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Tricaprylin

Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization

Triheptanoin

Triheptanin; 0.5–5% oil phase; non-greasy emollient, low comedogenic, oxidation-resistant, suits light formulas

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate

Emollient ester and emulsifier; provides silky feel in O/W systems, generally mild and non-irritating

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Cetyl Dimethicone

Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Silica

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Distarch Phosphate

Crosslinked starch phosphate; absorbent/anticaking, may feel dry at high levels

Dimethicone

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

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethylhexyl Triazone

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

Cetyl Phosphate

Anionic emulsifier and thickener; often blended, high levels may sting sensitive skin

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables

Oleic unsaponifiables (squalane/phytane); heavy-duty emollients suitable for dry, damaged skin repair

Butylene Glycol

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Xanthan Gum

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum

Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Parfum

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

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Disodium EDTA

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

Fumaria Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Botanical conditioner; monitor flavonoid stability and allergenicity; patch test recommended

Saccharide Hydrolysate

Saccharide hydrolysate, strong humectant with hygroscopic properties; suitable for various dosage forms.

Magnesium Aspartate

Magnesium aspartate; water-soluble chelant/conditioner. Use at 1-2%; check chelation efficiency.

Fumaric Acid

Dicarboxylic acid buffer; paired with sodium bicarbonate for pH control, < 0.5%.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

D-Limonene

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

Geraniol

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

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Linalool

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

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
