Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water Plain old water
2 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
3 diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate Uvinul A Plus. A new generation broad spectrum sunscreen that offers an effective protection especially in the UVA range. It is stable in formulations. Unfortunately, is not approved by the FDA (US) yet
4 ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating
5 dibutyl adipate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
6 ethylhexyl triazone Uvinul T. A UV filter. Effective against UVB rays. It is photostable. Can increase water resistance properties of the sunscreen. Unfortunately, not approved by the FDA (US) yet
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 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.
9 polymethyl methacrylate Is used to enhance product texture and can help to optically mask skin imperfections
10 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
11 parfum/fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
12 glycol palmitate
13 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
14 c20-22 alkyl phosphate
15 polyacrylate crosspolymer-6
16 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
17 coco-glucoside Used as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating
18 c20-22 alcohols
19 capryloyl glycine
20 oryza sativa (rice) hull powder
21 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
22 talc Absorbs oil and moisture helping to create a dryer product finish
23 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
24 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
25 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.
26 sodium gluconate Helps stabilize product formulations
27 sodium laureth sulfate
28 dimethiconol A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time
29 eichhornia crassipes extract
30 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
31 dehydroacetic acid A preservative
32 aminomethyl propanol Used to adjust the pH in formulations
33 lauroyl lysine Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice product texture
