What each ingredient generally does

Each entry that matched a canonical ingredient, with the function recorded for it. These notes describe the role an ingredient plays in a formulation. They do not assess an ingredient.

  • Zinc Oxide

    Bulking agent (adds volume)Colorant (adds color)Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)Oral care (CosIng functional class)Preservative (inhibits microbial growth)Skin protecting (CosIng functional class)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    A mineral UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light, the core sun-protection job in this product. It also helps protect the skin surface and can add whiteness or opacity. On some labels it appears as CI 77947 when used for color.

  • Water

    Antiplaque (CosIng functional class)otherSkin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    The base liquid that most of the other ingredients dissolve or spread into. It carries the formula and helps condition the skin surface.

  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Occlusive (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    A light oil used as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients and as an occlusive that forms a layer helping hold in moisture. It can also add a bit of scent.

  • Butyloctyl Salicylate

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    A liquid that conditions skin and hair and acts as a solvent. It softens skin feel and helps dissolve and spread other ingredients in the mix.

  • Glycerin

    Denaturant (makes alcohol undrinkable)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Humectant (holds moisture)Oral care (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin protecting (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Glycerin draws in and holds moisture while conditioning and protecting skin. It also dissolves other ingredients, adjusts thickness, and can add scent. On labels it may appear as glycerol.

  • Polyhydroxystearic Acid

    Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)

    This is an emulsifier that helps oil and water mix. It keeps the oily and watery parts blended so the formula holds together.

  • Cetearyl Alcohol

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Emulsion stabilizer (keeps oil and water mixed)Foam boosting (increases foam from other ingredients)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A workhorse ingredient that softens skin feel, adjusts thickness, helps oil and water mix, and keeps the blend stable. In practice it thickens the product, keeps it from separating, gives a smooth feel, and can make the product look opaque. Despite its name, it behaves like a waxy solid, not a drying alcohol.

  • Phenoxyethanol

    Preservative (inhibits microbial growth)

    This is a preservative that fights microbes. It helps keep the product from spoiling over time.

  • Polyurethane-62

    Binder (holds the formula together)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A polymer that binds ingredients together and adjusts the product's thickness. This helps hold the formula together and controls how thick or thin it feels.

  • Benzyl Alcohol

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)Preservative (inhibits microbial growth)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)Restricted in the EU

    Benzyl Alcohol is a multi-tasking ingredient that acts as a preservative to keep the product from spoiling and as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients. It also adds scent and adjusts the thickness of the formula.

  • Saccharide Isomerate

    Humectant (holds moisture)

    This is a sugar-based ingredient that works as a humectant, meaning it draws in and holds moisture. That helps keep the skin from drying out.

  • Citric Acid

    Buffering (holds the formula at a set acidity)Chelating (binds metal ions in the formula)Fragrance ingredient (scent)other

    Citric Acid is a mild acid used to fine-tune a formula's pH. It keeps the acidity steady (buffering), binds trace metals that would spoil the formula (chelating), and can add a scent note.

  • Propanediol

    Humectant (holds moisture)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A solvent that dissolves other ingredients and helps them blend evenly. It also adjusts the thickness of the formula.

  • Tocopherol

    Antioxidant (slows the formula oxidizing)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Occlusive (CosIng functional class)otherSkin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E used as an antioxidant, which helps keep the formula from going off. It also conditions skin and forms a thin surface layer that slows moisture loss. You may see it listed simply as vitamin E.
