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%.

Butylene Glycol

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

Propylene Glycol

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

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

Tapioca starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Dimethicone

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

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

PEG-4

Low-MW PEG at 1–5%; water-soluble humectant and solvent, helps dissolve other ingredients

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Bioactive marker in Evening Primrose Oil, antioxidant and soothing; used at low levels

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
