Pos | Ingredient Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | ricinus communis seed oil | A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency |
2 | cera alba | Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen |
3 | dibutyl adipate | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency |
4 | 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 |
5 | diethyhexl butamido triazone | Uvasorb HEB. A UV filter. Is effective against UVB and UVA II rays (but not UVA I). It is photostable. Unfortunately, is not approved by FDA (US) yet |
6 | 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 |
7 | dicaprylyl carbonate | Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin |
8 | butyrospermum parkii butter | A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals |
9 | ethylhhexyl 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 |
10 | argania spinosa kernel oil | An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties |
11 | euphorbia cerifera cera | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and thickens the product's texture |
12 | toco-pheryl 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. |
13 | zinc oxide | A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant |
14 | bis-ethylhexyl-oxyphenon 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. |
15 | aroma | An unspecified blend of fragrant irritating ingredients |
16 | 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 |
17 | bisabolol | An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties |
