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 |
