Ingredients explained
- 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.
- 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.
- Drometrizole Trisiloxane
- UVB sunscreens agent; limited by EU, must be used within strict limits.
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- Nylon-12
- Polymer microspheres at 0.1-2%; enhances barrier function, improves texture, strong grainy feel
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Perlite
- Inorganic porous material used as an absorbent and bulking agent; avoid dust inhalation.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions
- P-Anisic Acid
- Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Cassia Alata Leaf Extract
- Anthraquinone-containing leaf extract; astringent and skin conditioner, anthraquinones may cause photosensitivity or irritation.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate
- New UV filter (UVA/UVB); EU limits 2.8%/1.4%, potential sensitizer, stability required
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- PEG-8 Laurate
- PEG-8 laurate, non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing aid; good solubilization, note PEGs may increase formula permeation.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- T-Butyl Alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
