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.

  • Avobenzone

    Light stabiliser (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.

  • Homosalate

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)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 adds scent to the product.

  • Octisalate

    Light stabiliser (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 stabiliser (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.

  • Oxybenzone

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

    Oxybenzone is an organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also works as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up under sun exposure. On labels it often appears as Benzophenone-3.

  • Water

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

  • Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    An emollient that softens and smooths skin feel. In practice, it helps the product spread easily and leaves a smooth finish.

  • Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

    Film forming (leaves a thin coating)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)

    Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer forms a film and makes the product look opaque. In practice it leaves a thin layer on the skin and gives the formula a non-transparent appearance.

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)Humectant (holds moisture)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A multi-tasker that draws in and holds moisture, dissolves other ingredients as a solvent, and adjusts thickness. It also plays a role in fragrance and general skin conditioning. In practice it helps keep the product from drying out and keeps the texture consistent.

  • Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

    Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)

    An emulsifier that helps oil and water mix. It holds the oily and watery parts together in one blended, stable product.

  • Benzyl Alcohol

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

    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.

  • Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

    Emulsion stabiliser (keeps oil and water mixed)Film forming (leaves a thin coating)otherViscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A large chain-like molecule that stabilises emulsions, keeping the oil and water parts mixed. It also forms a thin film on the surface and adjusts the thickness of the product.

  • Triethanolamine

    Buffering (holds the formula at a set acidity)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)

    A buffering agent that sets and steadies the product's acidity level. It also helps oil and water mix, aids cleansing, and contributes to fragrance.

    An ingredient that binds trace metals that would otherwise spoil the formula, and helps adjust its thickness. This keeps the product stable over time.

  • Oleth-3

    Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)

    Oleth-3 is an emulsifier, meaning it helps oil and water mix. This keeps the water and oil parts of the product blended into one smooth formula instead of separating.
