Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
3 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
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 methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol Tinosorb M. A UV filter. Is effective against both UVA and UVB rays. It is photostable and can also be used to improve photostability of other sunscreen ingredients. It is soluble in water, which helps to create lightweight sunscreen formulations. Unfortunately, it is not approved by the FDA (US) yet
6 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
7 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
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 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
10 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
11 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
12 ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
13 bentonite Helps stabilize the product formulation
14 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
15 cocoglycerides Help soften the upper layer of the skin and make it easier for oil and water mix together. Recently, a rising number of allergic reactions to cocoglycerides and other coconut-derived surfactants has been reported. As there is a significant overlap between frequent irritants and allergens, we flag this ingredient for attention of those with very sensitive, reactive skin
16 hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine Helps oil and water mix together
17 c8-22 alkyl acrylates/methacrylic acid crosspolymer
18 hexylresorcinol Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals in skin
19 ectoin Softens the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function
20 decyl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
21 ethyl linoleate Helps reduce acne and blemishes. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce inflammation. Might be helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out the skin tone, but evidence of effectiveness in skin are lacking
22 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
23 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
24 vitis vinifera seed extract A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation
25 sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
26 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
27 propyl alcohol
28 cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together
29 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
30 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
31 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
32 lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
33 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.
34 ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate
35 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
36 diisopropyl adipate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
37 ubiquinone Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen
