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.

  • Octisalate

    Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light, and doubles as a light stabilizer to keep the formula steady in sun. It also appears on labels as Ethylhexyl Salicylate.

  • Octocrylene

    Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also serves as a light stabilizer, helping keep other filters and the formula intact under sunlight.

  • Avobenzone

    Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up under sun exposure. On labels it also appears as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane.

  • Alcohol Denat.

    Antifoaming (stops the formula foaming)Astringent (CosIng functional class)Fragrance ingredient (scent)otherPreservative (inhibits microbial growth)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Alcohol Denat. is ethyl alcohol with additives that make it undrinkable, used as a solvent to dissolve ingredients and thin the formula. It also cuts foam, tightens skin as an astringent, and adjusts thickness. Denat. simply means it has been denatured.
