2 | aqua / water | Plain old water |
3 | 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 |
4 | 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 |
5 | ethylhexyl salicylate | Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not 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 |
6 | bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine | Tinosorb S. One of the most effective broad spectrum sunscreen ingredients. Protects from both UVA and UVB rays. It is photostable. Unfortunately, not approved by FDA (US) yet. |
7 | alcohol denat. | Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products |
8 | diisopropyl sebacate | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin without creatng a greasy finish |
9 | butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane | 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 |
10 | drometrizole trisiloxane | Mexoryl XL. A UV filter. Effective in the UVB and UVA range. It is stable. Unfortunately, not approved in the US yet |

14 | synthetic wax | Used to stabilize product formulations and thicken product consistency |
15 | titanium dioxide | Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin |
16 | potassium cetyl phosphate | Helps oil and water mix together |
17 | ammonium polyacryldimethyltauramide / ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
18 | caprylyl glycol | Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture |
