INCI - Full Breakdown

1
Water
Roles: Solvent

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.

2
Zinc OxideVery effective component
Roles: Bulking, Colorant
UV Protection
Antiseptic
Comedogenic rating [ 1 ]
Good for oily skin
Good for oily skin

Zinc Oxide is a great physical sunscreen, meaning it deflects the UV rays. It’s the only natural mineral sun protector recommended by the FDA for babies. It’s good for sensitive skin because it’s less irritating than chemical sunscreens.

It has very nice spectrum protection. It helps to protect from UVA I, UVA II, and UVB and nowadays it’s the broadest range of sunscreen used in cosmetics. In other words, it’s brilliant in its league.

The negative side is that it can feel heavy on the skin. It can leave a slight whitish tint on the surface of the skin and some people may not like this. Keep in mind that it’s relatively easy to wash off, so it’s better to use water-resistant sunscreens if you are swimming.

3
Isononyl Isononanoate
Roles: Skin conditioning, Antistatic, Emollient
4
Dipropylene Glycol
Roles: Fragrance, Masking, Solvent, Viscosity controlling
Moisturizing

Dipropylene Glycol is a solvent, emulsifier, viscosity decreasing, and masking agent. It helps to extract useful chemicals from plants and leaves, making natural components in a product more effective. It also helps to hydrate the skin. Considered safe for health and doesn't irritate the skin in common concentration.

5
Butyloctyl Salicylate
Roles: Skin conditioning, Hair conditioning, Solvent
6
Alcohol Denatured
Roles: Antifoaming, Antimicrobial, Astringent, Masking, Solvent, Viscosity controlling
Antiseptic
Alcohols
Bad for dry skin
Bad for dry skin

Alcohol Denatured is a great bacteria killer. Manufacturers often put it inside products to increase their shelf life.

7
Isoamyl Laurate
Roles: Skin conditioning, Emollient, Fragrance
8
Isododecane
Roles: Emollient, Fragrance, Solvent
Softening

Isododecane is an emollient and a good base for colorants. Very often used in powders and shades because it spreads on the skin nicely. It also helps to soften the skin and helps to lower water loss making all the moisturizing components work better.

9
Methyl Trimethicone
Roles: Skin conditioning, Hair conditioning, Solvent
10
Titanium Dioxide
Roles: Colorant
UV Protection

Titanium Dioxide is a very effective sunscreen. It belongs to physical sunscreens, meaning it reflects the UV rays like a mirror. The component is a mineral with white color. That’s why it’s also used in different powders as a pigment or brightener.

The component can be both safe and unsafe. It’s reported to be possibly carcinogenic to humans when inhaled. That’s why we don’t recommend using products where TiO2 is used in the form of powder and can be inhaled.

Sometimes it can be a nanoparticle. We recommend avoiding this form because it’s not researched well enough. A safer option is to use a non-nano form.
