Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water Plain old water
2 homosalate A weak sunscreen that offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not offer meaningful protection against 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. When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation
3 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
4 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
5 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
6 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
7 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
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 drometrizole trisiloxane Mexoryl XL. A UV filter. Effective in the UVB and UVA range. It is stable. Unfortunately, not approved in the US yet
10 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
11 saccharomyces/ xylinum/ black tea ferment
12 aluminym starch octenylsuccinate Used to thicken the product's consistency
13 octocrylene A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen
14 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
15 styrene/ acrylates copolymer Used to create an even product consistency. Can help boost efficiency of sunscreen filters
16 potassium cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together
17 parfum /fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
18 caprylyl methicone A type of silicone that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish on the skin
19 terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid Ecamsule, Mexoryl SX. A UV filter. Is effective mostly against the UVA rays. It is legally marketed in the US with the FDA approval since 2006, even though the ingredient is not on the official FDA list of the approved sunscreen active ingredients. It is photostable
20 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
21 titanium dioxide [nano] / 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
22 triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
23 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
24 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
25 stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin
26 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

28 inulin lauryl carbamate
29 peg-8 laurate Helps oil and water mix together
