Widely used and effective physical sunscreen. It protects the skin from both UVB and UVA radiation. It is well researched and it is safe if used correctly. But it has one disadvantage: products with this component may leave a whitish tint.

Titanium Dioxide

#1 solvent in many skincare and haircare products. Usually, creams contain 40 - 70% of water, while toners and micellar water may have up to 90%. Manufacturers purify and deionize it before putting it into the product to make the formula last longer. As for the benefits, it is neither good nor bad. It's a neutral component itself, but it's a very important part of a product.

Water

The most widely used silicone. It improves skin condition a lot. It makes the skin smooth and pleasant to touch, gives it a healthy gloss and forms a protective barrier. It temporarily fills small fine lines and wrinkles hiding them and making your skin look better. In hair care products it's used as hair conditioning component. It smoothes the hair and gives them a very pleasant silky gloss. It protects the hair from aggressive surfactants like SLS.
