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 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)

  • C15-19 Alkane

    Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    A light liquid solvent that dissolves other ingredients and helps them blend. It supports the formula spreading smoothly.

  • 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.

    Binder (holds the formula together)Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    This is a film-forming ingredient that helps hold the formula together and adjusts its thickness. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the product stand up to light.

  • Tocopherol

    Antioxidant (slows the formula oxidising)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.

  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

    Humectant (holds moisture)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    A peptide (a short chain of amino acid building blocks) that acts as a humectant, meaning it draws in and holds moisture. It also conditions the skin, helping it feel soft and smooth. You may see it listed under the trade name Argireline.

  • Ascorbyl Glucoside

    Antioxidant (slows the formula oxidising)

    Ascorbyl Glucoside is a form of vitamin C used purely as an antioxidant. That means it helps keep the formula from spoiling as it's exposed to air.

  • Butylene Glycol

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

    A multitasking liquid that acts as a humectant, solvent, and thickness adjuster, and carries a scent role. It draws in and holds moisture, dissolves other ingredients, and helps set the product's texture.
