Key Ingredients
Golden Seaweed, Phytosterols, Octocrylene, Vitamin E
Ingredients Details
Octocrylene
Common Name(s): 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate
CAS Number: 6197-30-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides uvb-uva-ii uv protection and essential avobenzone photostabilisation.
Why It's Used: The essential combination partner โ octocrylene's dual uv filter + avobenzone photostabilisation function makes it virtually irreplaceable for durable broad-spectrum chemical sunscreens requiring uva-i coverage.
How It Works: Cyanocinnamate chromophore absorbs uvb-uva-ii (ฮปmax 303nm). triplet energy transfer from excited avobenzone to octocrylene photostabilises avobenzone (>90% efficiency at 3:1 avobenzone:octocrylene ratio). hydrophobic character enhances water resistance.
Typically Found In: Broad-spectrum sunscreens,avobenzone-containing formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ uv filter and photostabiliser
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Up to 10% (eu), 10% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 10%. fda: 10%. ewg score: 3. recent benzophenone impurity concerns from aged product hydrolysis under study.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Octocrylene's triplet energy transfer photostabilisation of avobenzone operates via a dexter electron exchange mechanism: excited-state avobenzone (triplet) transfers excitation energy to octocrylene via orbital overlap, allowing avobenzone to return to its ground state uv-absorbing form without photodegradation. this energy transfer is only efficient at close molecular proximity โ requiring intimate mixing of the two compounds in the formulation oil phase.

Phytosterols
Common Name(s): Plant sterols,beta-sitosterol complex,phytosterol mix
CAS Number: 83-46-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides plant sterol barrier lipid analogue with anti-inflammatory and 5-alpha-reductase inhibiting activity.
Why It's Used: Comprehensive plant sterol complex providing barrier repair, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic activity in a natural plant-derived mixture mimicking cholesterol's skin functions.
How It Works: Beta-sitosterol integrates into stratum corneum lipid bilayers as cholesterol structural analogue for barrier repair. inhibits 5-alpha-reductase type i and ii for dht reduction. anti-inflammatory via nf-kb inhibition. campesterol and stigmasterol provide complementary barrier and anti-inflammatory activities.
Typically Found In: Barrier repair creams,anti-acne products,anti-aging formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ plant sterol complex
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from vegetable oils (soy, tall oil, avocado)
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phytosterols' multiple concurrent mechanisms (barrier repair + 5-ar inhibition + anti-inflammation) from a single ingredient class provides comprehensive acne-relevant benefits from natural plant cell membrane components. beta-sitosterol's structural identity to cholesterol (one ethyl group difference at c-24) allows barrier integration while the different c-24 substitution subtly alters enzyme binding, providing 5-ar inhibition not seen with mammalian cholesterol.
