Ingredients
Primary Ingredients:

Octocrylene 10% is an organic compound and ester formed by the condensation of a diphenyl cyanoacrylate with 2-ethyl hexanol (a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like, water-resistant properties), used as an active ingredient in sunscreens because of its ability to absorb UVB and short-wave UVA rays and protect the skin from direct DNA damage (not proven safe for pregnancy and may cause allergic reactions to those with sensitive skin).
For this product to be effective it should contain 10% active ingredients with a minimum of 5 patented, clinically proven ingredients such as Pentavitin, Glucare S 2%, Argireline NP, Trylagen PCB, and Stay-C 50. It should contain vitamin E and C, which contains rich antioxidant algae for conditioning and protecting the skin from free radicals that cause premature aging.

Diisopropyl Adipate acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface. Cyclomethicone allows the skin to feel moisturized without feeling sticky or oily (researched for causing dryness). Glycerin keeps moisture in the skin. Glyceryl Stearate helps glycerin bind to the skin. Tocopheryl Acetate is a form of vitamin E (also a potential for skin irritation). Carbomer 940 is a thickening agent. Disodium EDTA is a preservative.
The formula should also contain Wheat Extract, a medical grade silicone which provides a protective layer to seal in moisture, as well as Beta-Glucan, (a highly active yeast) used to revitalize the skin and enhance the natural repair processes in the damaged skin.
