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

    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.

  • Ascorbic Acid

    Antioxidant (slows the formula oxidizing)Buffering (holds the formula at a set acidity)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    Ascorbic Acid is vitamin C, used here mainly as an antioxidant to protect the formula from going off. It also conditions the skin, adjusts the acidity balance, and can add scent.

  • 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. It also works as a white colorant and opacifier, adding whiteness and making the product less see-through. As a color additive it appears on labels as CI 77891.

  • 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.

  • Limnanthes Alba Whole

    No general role is recorded for this ingredient in the inventory we hold. That is a gap in our record, not a statement about the ingredient.

  • Niacinamide

    Smoothing (CosIng functional class)

    An ingredient that smooths the skin's surface. In practice, it helps the product leave skin feeling even.

Checking this against your own list

SPF Scout's Personal Ingredient Check runs in the app, on your device. This page cannot see a personal avoidance list. Your selections are stored on your phone and are never sent to this website. There is nowhere on our side for them to go.

In the app you choose the ingredients you already avoid, and every entry in this declaration that matches one of them is shown to you with the alias path that produced the match.

This comparison does not predict whether your skin will react.
