Ingredients explained
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Diheptyl Succinate
- Light emollient ester; refreshing non-greasy feel, often replaces heavier mineral oils.
- Methyl Dihydroabietate
- Abietate ester for viscosity control; plant resin source, watch allergenicity.
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
- Film-forming conditioner for hair/skin protection; hydrophobic, pair with water phase
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Arachidyl Alcohol
- Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Arachidyl Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates
- Polyhydroxystearic Acid
- Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
