Organic filters

Ingredient	UVB	UVA II	UVA I	Stability
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane
octocrylene
homosalate

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	avobenzone - 2.2 %	Avobenzone. A broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it can protect against both UVA rays. Currently, it is the only sunscreen ingredient available in the US (approved by the FDA) with the peak absorbance within the UVA I range. It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
2	octocrylene - 4.2 %	A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen
3	homosalate - 7.0 %	A weak sunscreen that offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not offer meaningful protection against protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation
4	water	Plain old water
5	diisopropyl adipate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
6	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
7	glycerin	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
8	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
9	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
10	acrylates/c12-22 alkyl methacrylate copolymer
11	fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
12	c12-15 alkyl benzoate	Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth
13	acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer	Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
14	ceteth-10 phosphate
15	dicetyl phosphate
16	coco-glucoside	Used as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating
17	chlorphenesin	A preservative
18	dimethicone	A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
19	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
20	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
21	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
22	tocopheryl acetate	A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
23	mangifera indica (mango) seed butter	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect
24	carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract
25	mangifera indica (mango) fruit extract	A fruit extract that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. There is no evidence of other benefits in skin
26	passiflora incarnata fruit extract
27	plumeria acutifolia flower extract
28	psidium guajava fruit extract
29	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
30	aloe barbadensis leaf juice	Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
31	sodium ascorbyl phosphate	A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
