Ingredients explained

Zinc Oxide

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

Water

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

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Ethylhexyl Pelargonate

Not decoded yet

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Bis-Octyldodecyl Dimer Dilinoleate/Propanediol Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Dimethicone

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

Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate

New UV filter (UVA/UVB); EU limits 2.8%/1.4%, potential sensitizer, stability required

Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene

Chemical UVB sunscreen agent, requires UVA pairing; potential allergen, strict concentration control needed for sensitive skin.

Polyester-27

Not decoded yet

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Yellow Iron Oxide

Inorganic yellow pigment for color and coverage; physically stable, generally non-irritating and non-comedogenic in cosmetics.

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

PEG-12 Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Tocopherol

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

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Red Iron Oxides

Inorganic red pigment; stable; blends with TiO2; watch for local accumulation at high loads.

Black Iron Oxide

Black iron oxide colorant, non-irritating; powder settling/dispersibility needed, low concentration use

Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract

Glycyrrhiza inflata extract; soothes and anti-irritates. Use at 0.1-1%; monitor glycyrrhizin levels.

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Silica

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
