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.
An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up when exposed to sunlight. You'll often see it listed as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate.
Zinc Oxide
UV filter (filters UV rays)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)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.
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.
Ensulizole is an organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light, so less of it reaches the skin. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up under sun exposure. You may see it listed as Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid.
Titanium Dioxide
UV filter (filters UV rays)Colorant (adds color)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)Titanium Dioxide is a mineral UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light.
