Ingredients explained

Homosalate

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

Octinoxate

Water-soluble UVB absorber for sunscreen; concentration limited by regulations, may irritate sensitive skin

Octisalate

Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture

Avobenzone

Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.

Water

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

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Polyester-8

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

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

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Lauryl Lactate

Lauric lactate ester; mild emollient and emulsifier; suitable for all skin types, low allergenicity.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer

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

Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate

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

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Behenic Acid

Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.

Cetyl Behenate

Not decoded yet

Isostearyl Isostearate

Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.

Lauryl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol for emulsifying and thickening; low comedogenic, mild irritation possible on dry sensitive skin.

Myristyl Alcohol

Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.

Aniba Rosaeodora Wood Oil

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Citrus Limon Peel Oil

Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Ocimum Basilicum Flower/Leaf Extract

Basil extract; contains eugenol; tonic/antioxidant, potential allergen at high levels.

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Pogostemon Cablin Oil

Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Disodium Edta

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

Thermus Thermophillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Bht

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Cassia Alata Leaf Extract

Anthraquinone-containing leaf extract; astringent and skin conditioner, anthraquinones may cause photosensitivity or irritation.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Tocopherol

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