Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Alcohol Denat

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Ethylhexyl salicylate

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

Butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate

Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.

Ethylhexyl Triazone

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

Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Octocrylene

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

C12-15 alkyl benzoate

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens

Tapioca starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol

Not decoded yet

Glycyrrhetinic acid

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

Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract

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

Glycerin

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

Tocopherol

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

Glucosylrutin

Rutin glucoside form, antioxidant with improved water solubility, low irritation for brightening formulas

Isoquercitrin

Natural flavonoid antioxidant for skin brightening; plant-derived, monitor stability.

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium stearoyl glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Sodium chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dimethicone

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

Trisodium EDTA

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Phenoxyethanol

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

Parfum

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