Formulation view Hybrid water-oil system containing UVA/UVB filters and extracts like Leontopodium alpinum and Terminalia ferdinandiana. Uses cross-linked silicones for rheology and ascorbyl tetra-isopalmitate for antioxidant support. Suitable as a daily moisturizer with sun protection. Formulator note: high filter load requires stability checks with botanicals; volatile silicones ensure quick film formation.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Glycerin

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Sodium Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Leontopodium Alpinum Extract

Edelweiss extract; flavonoid-rich skin conditioner; scarce raw material, high cost, verify batch consistency

Phenoxyethanol

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract

Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

PEG-20 Stearate

PEG-20 stearate emulsifier/cleanser, 0.5–2%; PEG-class potential allergen/dioxane residue risk.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil

Citrus essential oil; photosensitizing furanocoumarins present, limit daytime use; EU 26 allergen.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate

Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, hair conditioning and preservative; restricted concentration

Lauryl Glucoside

Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil

Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; contains phototoxic furanocoumarins, limit concentration, strict sun protection required

Citrus Aurantifolia Oil

Bitter orange essential oil; fragrance and conditioning. Phototoxic; use in AM formulas requires sun protection. EU restricted.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf/Twig Oil

Bitter orange oil for fragrance/flavor; essential oil with allergens, cautious for photosensitizing areas.

Rosa Damascena Flower Oil

Rose essential oil with strong scent; contains allergens, requires IFRA compliance.

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Propylene Glycol

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

Xanthan Gum

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