Ingredients explained

Avobenzone

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

Homosalate

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

Octisalate

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

Octocrylene

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

Water

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

Dimethicone

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

Styrene/ Acrylates Copolymer

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer film former; creates matte film, requires volatile solvent, monitor monomer residuals.

Butyloctyl Salicylate

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

Dimethicone/ Divinyldimethicone/ Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer; smooth finish; high levels may be comedogenic; check initiator residue.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Butylene Glycol

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

Peg-100 Stearate

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

Steareth-21

Nonionic emulsifier at 0.5-1%; co-emulsifier, reduces irritation, improves system stability

Polyamide-5

Thickening polymer for gels/creams; insoluble, needs dispersion

Acrylates Crosspolymer-4

Crosslinked acrylate polymer at 0.1-1%; modifies gel texture, enhances stability, lightweight feel

Titanium Dioxide

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Ethylene Brassylate

Ethylene brassylate for fragrance and toning; potential sensitizer

Steareth-2

Nonionic emulsifier at 0.5-2%; W/O emulsifier auxiliary, thickener, heavy feel

Phenoxyethanol

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

Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer

Anionic polymer for antistatic properties and film formation; common in blow-dry sprays, forms easily washed-off film.

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Panthenyl Triacetate

Panthenyl triacetate, antistatic and hair conditioning; hydrolyzes to panthenol

Isostearic Acid

Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy

Ethyl Linoleate

Fatty acid ester emollient for dryness; prone to oxidation, requires light protection.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Glycerin

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

Disodium Edta

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

Oleyl Alcohol

Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.

Melanin

Melanin as pigment or UV absorber; natural colorant, shade depends on purity, used in dark concealers.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tocopherol

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

Polyglyceryl-5 Trioleate

Mild polyglyceryl emulsifier; may need heat to melt; check compatibility with salts.

Ethyl Ferulate

Antioxidant that slows lipid oxidation; usable in both aqueous and oil phases.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Petasites Japonicus Root Extract

Petasites root extract; soothing claims; requires strict QC for pyrethroleone alkaloids.

Disodium Uridine Phosphate

Disodium Uridine Phosphate for skin conditioning; provides hydration and repair support, often paired with humectants.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Peg-6 Stearate

Nonionic emulsifier; may cloud at low temp; match HLB; avoid cationic surfactants.

Beta-Glucan

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Peg-32

Water-soluble humectant and thickener at 1-10%; low MW penetrates easily, strong hygroscopicity; blend with PEG-400 for viscosity control

Peg-100

PEG-based emulsifier at 1-5%; used to emulsify oil and water phases; may cause skin irritation

Cyclotetrasiloxane

Volatile silicone providing slip; D4 is restricted in EU rinse-off products and requires labeling for leave-on use.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
