Ingredients Details
Avobenzone
Common Name(s): Parsol 1789,avobenzone
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides uva-i protection (340-400nm) critical for photoaging prevention โ the only widely available chemical uva-i filter.
Why It's Used: The essential uva-i filter โ avobenzone is the only commonly approved chemical filter providing protection in the photoaging-critical 340-400nm range essential for broad-spectrum sunscreen claims.
How It Works: Dibenzoylmethane chromophore absorbs uva-i (ฮปmax 357nm, ฮตmax ~36,000). photodegrades via photoisomerisation requiring photostabilisation (octocrylene, bemotrizinol) for durability.
Typically Found In: Broad-spectrum sunscreens,anti-aging spf products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ chemical uva-i filter
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 5% (eu), 3% (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 5%. fda: 3%. ewg score: 2. requires photostabilisation. photoallergy risk in some individuals.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Avobenzone's photodegradation discovery drove development of photostabilisation technology โ the period from avobenzone's 1978 introduction to development of effective photostabilisers in the 1990s was marked by sunscreens with inadequate uva durability. bemotrizinol (tinosorb s) development provided the most elegant solution by providing a photostable molecule with equivalent uva coverage.

Benzophenone
Common Name(s): Benzophenone,cosmetic active,functional ingredient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers characteristic cosmetic function at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Selected for functional contribution and formulation compatibility supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.
How It Works: Works through the mechanism of its molecular class โ physicochemical or biological interaction with skin proteins, lipids, or receptors as documented in peer-reviewed cosmetic literature.
Typically Found In: Skin care formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care

Glycerine
Common Name(s): Glycerin,universal humectant,water-binding skin conditioning
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Attracts and retains moisture in the sc, improves skin barrier function at low concentrations, provides gentle keratolytic softening, and acts as a co-solvent for water-soluble actives.
Why It's Used: The reference humectant โ lowest cost, best safety profile, universal formulation compatibility, and present naturally in the sc via lipase-mediated glycerolipid hydrolysis makes glycerin the industry standard against which all humectants are benchmarked.
How It Works: Three hydroxyl groups form 6 h-bonds with water molecules per glycerol unit โ the highest oh-group density per carbon of any commercial humectant. glycerin also down-regulates epidermal serine proteases that overactivate in dry sc, improving desquamation and barrier integrity.
Typically Found In: All cosmetics,universal
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ40%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Epidermal lipases hydrolyse sc glycerophospholipids during cornification, releasing glycerol that contributes to the natural nmf โ topical glycerin directly supplements this endogenous sc humectant pool.

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.
