After doing the 83, it seemed sensible to do the final route that terminates in Harristown: the 13. This is one of the long Network Direct routes that combines a number of former City Swift routes : 13, 13A, 51B and 51C. Through this merger in 2011, a route was created that runs from Harristown to Grange Castle via Poppintree, Ballymun, Drumcondra, Kilmainham, Inhicore, Clondalkin and Bawnogue. The merger also means it is operated by two garages: Harristown and Conyngham Road. This means a variety of buses can appear on the route, from AVs and AXs to VGs and GTs. However, during 2015 the route is due to go over to GT and SG operation as part of the contract Dublin Bus has with the NTA. The variety will diminish on the route and sights such as the oldest AV from 2001 (AV186), which I got to see on the 23rd March will become much rarer.
The route is probably best known for passing through the more working classes areas of Dublin. Indeed, it is not uncommon to read on the Dublin Bus website that at night it is diverted from Bawnogue, and to a lesser degree Poppintree, due to anti-social behaviour. I experienced no problems on the days I walked the route, even though one was Friday the 13th.
At the Ballymun and Harristown end it meets the 4, 9, 11, 17A, 27B and 83 which have all been covered by this site. At Grange Castle it meets the 151 which has also been covered here. Between Blackhorse and Red Cow it runs parallel to the Luas Red Line on the Naas Road which is a faster form of transport between the two points.
The original 13 and 13A as well as the 51B and 51C were routes I was not very familiar with. The amount of time I travelled on both could probably be counted on two hands. However I enjoyed by two days on the present 13, and glad I got to know a route number that has a long history within Dublin, at least on the northside.
On the 31st December 2015 I travelled on Harristown' sGT 36.


We believe it's important to reevaluate your beauty regimen each year to ensure you are doing what is necessary to keep your skin and body in pristine condition. So, as we enter the new year in full swing, we find it necessary to highlight 10 beauty resolutions we believe all people should make.
Our belief is the most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is healthy skin. At The Graivier Center Medspa, we offer a selection of quality products to help maintain your skin care needs. A consultation with our skin care staff will help you discover which products would best suit you.
Making sure you cleanse your makeup brushes correctly is one of the most important steps for maintaining healthy skin. The key is to remove dirt and bacteria, which can dry out and irritate your skin. To clean your brushes, use a chemical free cleanser such as Dawn dishwashing liquid from your kitchen. Simply place your brushes in soapy water for an hour or so as upright as possible to avoid getting water in the handle. Rinse and lay flat to dry.
You can take preventative measures to slow down the most common signs of aging: wrinkles. Even though we are months away from the summer sun, UV rays are still present when the sun is out, which can lead to skin aging as well as skin cancer. All skin types should wear a SPF of at least 15 daily.
When your skin is dehydrated, it suffers. All skin types need to be regularly moisturized, so find a moisturizing product to complement your skin type and use it every day. In addition, be sure that you are drinking the recommended 8-10 glasses of water a day to flush toxins from your body, which will aid in restoring your skin to its natural elasticity.
Massage treatments restore a sense of balance and rejuvenation to the body by relieving muscle tension and improving blood and lymph circulation. Our licensed massage therapists utilize a combination of Swedish massage, shiatsu, reflexology, and deep tissue massage depending on your needs.
While the idea of "beauty sleep" might have become a cliché, dozens of studies suggest that getting at least eight hours of sleep a night can actually make people appear more attractive. However, before you turn in the for the night, always remember to remove your makeup and apply a moisturizer to your skin.
Why take a risk when it comes to your face? Every facial filler and neuromodulator on the market has unique properties. Treatments such as Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport and facial and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, or Belotero should only be trusted to a certified healthcare professional. Be sure to schedule a consultation to find out the best fit for your current needs.
A quick way to clean off all your makeup residue, dirt, and oil at the end of the day is to use makeup remover wipes. The wipes gently remove pore-clogging impurities. Use these prior to washing with a mild cleanser and finishing your routine with a moisturizer.
Flossing daily aids in removing bacteria and plaque from your teeth. Removing this from your mouth eliminates your chances of developing cavities, irritable gums and gum disease.
Your brows are one of the most important features on your face. Having shapely brows can make you look rested, give you a subtle change and are a great maintenance between Botox injections.

Norway: Porsche Taycan Outsold All Gas Cars Combined Last Month
This is in the country where 19 out of the 20 best selling vehicles were electric last month.
Feb 04, 2022 at 9:07am ET
Norway has adopted EVs like no other country and electric cars are now consistently outselling ICE vehicles. Norwegians like their premium EVs too, but it's still remarkable that the Porsche Taycan outsold all ICE vehicles combined in January, with 181 units delivered to customers.
According to the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council (OFV), out of a total of 7,957 vehicles sold in the country last month, just 387 of them had either a diesel or a gasoline engine, and of those just 175 units came with a gasoline-burning mill. It is worth noting that the overall monthly sales figure is unusually low, even for a small country like Norway - it's almost 2,400 vehicles less compared to January, 2021.
Almost 84 percent of all new cars sold in Norway last month (6,659 units) were completely electric. And out of the 20 most popular vehicles, all but one was electric, the Toyota RAV4 (with 271 registrations). This is not only a new all-time record for the nation, but it also marks a 53 percent increase compared to the same month last year.
The overall bestselling vehicle in Norway last month was the Audi Q4 E-Tron with 643 examples delivered. Next up was the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (477 units delivered), followed by the BMW iX (444 units delivered). Interestingly, the relatively affordable VW ID.3 only managed to sell 125 units, a very low number even compared to the ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq (each with the same 389 units delivered).
This sharp increase in the number of EVs sold also probably came as a direct result of Norway's lowering of incentives for hybrid vehicles; they accounted for 19 percent of sales in January 2021, falling to just 6.6 percent this year.

Let�s say you need me to write a press release promoting your business and distribute it to the media for you. But your marketing budget is lacking. However, you could detail my car (which I need � desperately). Suddenly, we�re in a situation where money may not need to change hands, after all.
This is the basic concept behind Worcester Time Trade.
Or time trade credits are worth WooDaddy discounts, as it were. Accrued time credits are banked and used, and it goes both ways.
�We often spend the time credits we earn by hiring time traders to help out on Sundays, as well as helping with shopping, catering and other work we engage in,� Mr. Zalkind said.
A bit more sophisticated than your basic bartering � such as is offered on Craigslist � with time trade you can bank service hours and �buy� a service you need, when you need it. One hour of service earns one time credit.
For instance, a user might earn a time-trade hour doing yardwork, saving the credit for a time when they need tutoring help, a case of homemade jam or help with dog walking. Worcester Time Trade uses the online database Community Weaver to track offers, requests, exchanges and credits. Time credits never expire.
Worcester Time Trade was founded this past January by Adrienne LaPierre of Chicopee. She and Mr. Zalkind, as well as the waffle business�s co-owner Sarah Herold, met while pursuing master�s degrees at Clark University.
A PBS special, �Fixing the Future,� introduced Ms. LaPierre to time trade. It immediately resonated with her.
�On the one hand, it�s a way to get value out of work you like to do, such as knitting, for example,� she said. �It captures the value of what you�re doing and can help people out in a time of need,� as many are in today�s economic climate.
Worcester Time Trade now has 60 members, most of whom are women, with a burgeoning youth interest, Ms. LaPierre said. Many members are college age and older. It�s up to members to figure out what they would like to offer, she said.
Child care, both looking and offering, is popular on the Time Trade boards, as are housecleaning and haircutting. One woman offers handmade soap. �It�s a diverse list of offers and requests,� said Ms. LaPierre.
The group makes it clear that users are to only do trades with people they are comfortable with, and that they are sure are qualified. Most time trades have liability clauses.
�Too often, our society reduces an experience to a simple exchange of money for services and leaves the human feeling out of it,� Mr. Zalkind said. WooDaddy Waffles, which he calls �a social, culinary, community-building endeavor,� mirrors this theme.
Ms. LaPierre is looking ahead to making the time trade more user-friendly, broad-reaching and inclusive. Building community partnerships � such as an outreach center at the Clark Community Thrift Store for those who may not have access to computers � and bilingual help are on the priority list.
Though it is Mr. Zalkind�s first time participating in a time trade, the concept was not new to him. Alternate currencies and barter systems are practiced around the globe as an economic vehicle and method to empower communities, he said, and it is an attractive notion.
�The idea of creating self-sufficient systems of exchange and value creation is one of the core themes that brought me to Worcester to study in the first place,� he said.

Can a smart computer person find our computer No or ID to locate any writer or commentator here? Can someone use any such info for their own personal vendetta ? Does an anonymous ID as writer allow us to freely express divergent and dissenting views here ?
is there something called a "RL" that identifies an indy writer here in any way that is intrusive or abusive ?
who can locate our computer ID # and then maybe our address or email addresses or any personal info about ANY ONE WHO WRITES ON THIS INDYMEDIA SITE ????
is there an undisclosed or unadmited danger to using anonymous names ...for the very reason of needing to Protect our identities from maybe unscrupulous attackers or invaders of our privacy?
A recent post threatened and implied that it was possible to reveal or investigate anyone here further than their writing on this site...is that actual or wishful power-thinking?
Enough that NSA and other big govt and big corporate organizations use us as guinea pigs and slaves to their advertisements.
"Terms and Conditions may Apply'....???
how much we are unaware we are "agreeing' to that is to the advantage of the commercial advertisers or services they offer 'for free' w/o revealing how they gain & benefit on back side [hidden side] of our automatic agreement .
What does anyone actually know of this free-wheeling site that may have few to no monitors and cannot afford to do more than keep it 'going' on...barely...maybe ???
what else do we idiots in USA and regular folk NOT KNOW??
Plse....tell us what you know ...not paranoidal think but actually know is so.

Mundilfari, auch Mundilfare oder Mundilföri, ist eine Riesengestalt aus der Nordischen Mythologie. Er gilt in den Liedern des Nordens als Beweger der Weltachse, Vater von Sonne und Mond und verkörpert auch die Nacht.

Mundilfari, nord., bedeutet "der sich nach bestimmten Zeiten bewegt".

Mundilfari war ein Riese, der in Midgard lebte. Weil er seine hübschen Kinder, Sôl und Mani, beide ebenfalls Riesen, nach Sonne und Mond benannte, erzürnten sich die Götter (Asen) ob dieser Anmaßung. Zur Strafe wurden die Kinder dazu gezwungen, die göttlichen Streitwagen durch den Himmel zu steuern.

Daher ziehen die beiden täglich als Sonne und Mond über den Himmel. Mani, ebenfalls ein Riese, fährt im Mondwagen, wobei ihn Bil und Hjuki begleiten. Die Riesin Sol fährt im Sonnenwagen, gezogen von den Hengsten Alswinn und Arwakr.

I hold a Master's Degree in Theological Studies and a Master's of Social Work from University of Washington in Seattle. I guide my transgender therapist practice with compassion, dedication, and an anti-oppression lens. Some of my therapy specialties include trauma recovery, addressing negative self-talk, and managing anxiety and depression. I use a framework that affirms gender non-conforming children, youth, and adults, as well as the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) community. The best part of what I do is celebrating a person's growth and witnessing their courage as they create the kind of life they've been hoping for. My clients say they enjoy laughing with me and that I can be direct in a way that is easy to handle. If you're looking for a gender therapist I'd love to talk with you.
I am out of network with insurance companies for many reasons. I submit claims for you and you receive reimbursement from your insurance. If you'd like to use your insurance out of network benefits, please verify them with your insurance company, as well as whether you have to meet a deductible first. I've listed the billing codes here you can ask about. Most plans pay you back 50%-80% of my rate.
Individual Sessions: The first session is $175 (Code 90791). Sessions after that are $165 (Code 90837). With the claim form I submit electronically you will end up paying out of pocket likely $30-$90 per session, which is the cost of a co-payment for most people. You can also request a 90 minute session at the rate of $220. I have a limited number of sliding scale appointments, with the lowest of the scale reserved for trans people of color. Please ask about any openings for low fee at the time of your initial call.
Couple/Relationship Therapy: The first session is $185 and sessions after are $180. Please note that insurance plans do not cover "couple's therapy" unless explicitly stated in the policy and I would need to see that in order to create an insurance form. Some plans may consider it "family therapy", (code 90847) if the couple is married, but again, you'll need to see this in writing from them in order to file for benefits.
LGBTQ+ Family Building Group: Sliding scale- $30-$80 per person. (No insurance billing forms provided for these).
People pay me with credit cards, health savings cards, flexible spending cards, and self employed people sometimes write off my expenses as professional services. I have a billing service that handles any insurance issues or claim denials. Some clients use the Get Better app. Better is a company that knows the ins and outs of insurance policies and can assist with any challenges with reimbursement. Their rates are from 0-10% of your amount, so check them out!
In addition to gender therapy, I provide trainings to organizations, businesses, schools, and individual therapists. My goal is to increase access to truly trans-affirming care by providing training, consultation, and supervision to other therapists, educators, and health practitioners. I aim to contribute by improving affordable options for transgender individuals. To this end, I offer lower fees for training to those willing to provide pro bono and sliding scale options.
I'm a Southern lover of books, music, a special dog named Scully (remember the X-Files?), a cat named Lionel, and a spider-loving scientist. I'm a co-founder of QORDS, a summer camp for queer and transgender youth and youth of LGBTQ+ families. I identify as a non-binary person with Tsalagi (Cherokee, Eastern Band), English, Irish, and West African roots. I experience and express my gender in different ways at different times. My pronouns are gender neutral (they/them). Whenever possible, I like to read, dance, go hiking, travel, play drums, and eat good food.

Call for Expressions of Interest in Livestock Emissions Research
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the Second round of the New Zealand Fund for Global Partnerships in Livestock Emissions Research (the Fund) are now being called. The Fund is aimed at accelerating global research into mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from pastoral livestock farming.
The Fund is open to international scientists, and it is hoped that multi-stakeholder/country consortia bids will be put forward. Projects can be led by New Zealand or international participants, but must include a New Zealand partner. Co-funding from international participants is also required.
Round 2 of the Fund totals NZ$15 million, and supports projects up to three years in duration. The cost of individual projects is expected to be in the range of NZ$1-3 million over the four years.
The Fund will seek proposals in response to a set of high-level research challenges that have been identified by an international strategic science panel, chaired by the Prime Minister's Chief Science Advisor Professor Sir Peter Gluckman. These challenges are in the areas of:
Manipulating rumen function
Reducing nitrous oxide emissions from soils in predominantly grazing livestock systems
Manipulating the rates of soil carbon change in predominantly grazing livestock systems
Improved information for farmer decision making in predominantly grazing livestock systems
The Fund follows a two-stage application process beginning with a short expression of interest (EOI) which closes 27 August 2012. Successful EOI applicants are then invited to submit full proposals. Projects from Round 2 that gain approval are expected to commence in July 2013.
Please visit http://www.mpi.govt.nz/nzlivestockemissionsfund to obtain further information on the fund as well as the guidelines and application forms.

International initiative on peat and climate change mitigation
Peatlands store tremendous amounts of carbon. However, when they are drained and used – mainly for agriculture, grazing and forestry – peatlands become significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Peatlands drainage and peat fires are responsible for almost one-quarter of carbon emissions from the land use sector.
To address this situation, FAO and Wetlands International have launched the global 'Organic soils and peatlands climate change mitigation initiative'. The Initiative is an informal network of organizations and people committed to reducing emissions from peatlands and safeguarding the other vital ecosystem services peatlands provide. Institutions currently involved in the initiative include FAO, Wetlands International, Greifswald University, IUCN UK, Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, the Center for International Forestry Research(CIFOR), Global Environment Centre (GEC), the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the University of Helsinki.
The Initiative will be launched on 17 May in Bonn Germany at a side event at the thirty-sixth session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) held during the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change Conference. At the launch, the Initiative's first publication will be released, 'Peatlands – guidance for climate change mitigation by conservation, rehabilitation and sustainable use'.

The Global Rumen Census project receives its first samples
Samples of freeze-dried rumen contents from all over the globe are starting to arrive at AgResearch's laboratories in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
AgResearch scientists Gemma Henderson and Peter Janssen are conducting a census of rumen microbes from farmed ruminants in different parts of the world. This is being done as part of a Livestock Research Group project funded by New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries (formerly Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry), as part of its commitment to the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA).
Faith Cox and Dr Gemma Henderson with the package containing rumen samples from Canada, the first to arrive for the global census of rumen microbes
Ruminants have a modified digestive tract, in which the feed is first fermented by a complex community of microbes in a forestomach called the rumen. This has the advantage of converting feed that is of low energy value for mammals into products that are more valuable for the ruminant animal. However, one of the by-products of this fermentation is methane, which is released into the atmosphere.
This ruminant derived methane is implicated in global climate change. In response to this, research groups around the world are working to develop mitigation technologies to reduce the amounts of anthropogenic greenhouse gases produced from animal agriculture. Among these are technologies to inhibit the methane producing microbes or to direct the rumen fermentation away from methane and towards products that benefit the animal.
Modifying the rumen fermentation required a good knowledge of which microbes are to be targeted. If all ruminants harbour essentially the same microbes, then mitigation technologies targeting microbes are likely to be universal and transferable. This is where Gemma and Peter and their research come in. They are conducting a census of rumen microbes in samples being sent to them from a network of collaborators and colleagues from around the world. At the time of writing, samples have arrived or have been promised from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ethiopia, France, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovenia, United Kingdom, United States and Uruguay. Some countries are represented by multiple research institutes, which adds valuable diversity to the range of animals and feeding systems.
Any researchers who are interested in participating in this project and are able to supply samples can contact the project team at [email protected].

Finding solutions for climate change mitigation that benefit small farmers
Researchers from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) are working in four countries to assess the contribution that small farmers can make to carbon markets and ways to link them to these markets.
Greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced and carbon sequestered through the adoption of climate-friendly agronomic practices – for example crop-residue management and no-tillage farming – and through improved use of organic and chemical fertilisers. By 'trading' carbon stored or emissions reduced, a carbon market provides a means to turn this useful activity into a profitable one. Read the full article on the New Agriculturist website.

You are back to work after your summer holiday. You have used up all your vacation days for the year. It's dark outside when you have to get up for work. You'd like to retire early, but life is expensive and forever is a long time.
What are you willing to give up both now and later to achieve your goal? Do you have what it takes to live very frugally? Here are some blogs and blog posts that may give you some ideas if packing it in really early is at the top of your bucket list.
Engineer Tim Stobbs who lives in Regina, Saskatchewan is the author of Canadian Dream: Free at 45. While his objective initially was to retire at age 45, he's pushed that date back to age 40. His ultimate goal between investments and home equity is a net worth of around $1 million. With a net worth in August 2016 of $883,000, he is getting close to meeting his target. He has some Dark Fears but has come to realize it is impossible to cover off every possible contingency in advance.
Living a FI describes himself as a 38-year old happily retired dude (formerly a software engineer) living in Boston. He says that if you are close to the end of your early retirement journey, what you need to do is Build a Vision of Life Without Work. His favourite approach to managing the transition between work and retirement was created by Ernie Zelinski, author of several early-retirement lifestyle books. He named the technique the "Get-A-Life-Tree." (see above). "If you follow this method, you'll easily wind up with tons of stuff to do, scattered over a few pages," he explains.
And finally, ThinkSaveRetire is Steve's blog about financial independence and taking control of his life. He figures that if he is still working at age 43 he has done something wrong. Here are several of his "must reads" if you want to get the most out of his journey.

*Octinoxate (7.5%)
Also-called: Octinoxate, Octyl Methoxycinnamate;Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate | What-it-does: sunscreen | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
A clear, oil-soluble, "cosmetically-elegant" liquid that is the most commonly used chemical sunscreen. It absorbs UVB radiation (at wavelengths: 280-320 nm) with a peak protection at 310nm.
It only protects against UVB and not UVA rays (the 320-400 nm range) – so always choose products that contain other sunscreens too. It is not very stable either, when exposed to sunlight, it kind of breaks down and loses its effectiveness (not instantly, but over time - it loses 10% of its SPF protection ability within 35 mins). To make it more stable it can be - and should be - combined with other sunscreen agents to give stable and broad-spectrum protection (the new generation sunscreen agent, Tinosorb S is a particularly good one for that).
Regarding safety, there are also some concerns around Octinoxate. In vitro (made in the lab not on real people) and animal studies have shown that it may produce hormonal (estrogen-like) effects. Do not panic, the studies were not conducted under real life conditions on real human people, so it is probably over-cautious to avoid Octinoxate altogether. However, if you are pregnant or a small child (under 2 yrs. old), choose a physical (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) or new-generation Tinosorb based sunscreen, just to be on the super-safe side. :)
Overall, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an old-school chemical sunscreen agent. There are plenty of better options for sun protection today, but it is considered "safe as used" (and sunscreens are pretty well regulated) and it is available worldwide (can be used up to 10% in the EU and up to 7.5% in the US).

A colorless to light yellowish oily liquid that works as a UVB (280-320nm) sunscreen filter with a peak absorbance at 306 nm. It's not a strong filter in itself, it's always used in combination with other sunscreen agents to further enhance the SPF and to solubilize other solid UV filters.
It has a good safety profile and is allowed to be used at a max concentration of 5% both in the US and in Europe (10% is allowed in Japan).
**Titanium Dioxide (3.5%) - goodie
What-it-does: sunscreen
Titanium Dioxide is one of the two members of the elite sunscreen group called physical sunscreens (or inorganic sunscreens if you're a science geek and want to be precise).
Traditionally, UV-filters are categorized as either chemical or physical. The big difference is supposed to be that chemical agents absorb UV-light while physical agents reflect it like a bunch of mini umbrellas on top of the skin. While this categorization is easy and logical it turns out it's not true. A recent, 2016 study shows that inorganic sunscreens work mostly by absorption, just like chemical filters, and only a little bit by reflection (they do reflect the light in the visible spectrum, but mostly absorb in the UV spectrum).
Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less good at 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safety profile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters).
The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problem and the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.
The main concern with nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbed into the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreens with nanoparticles do stay on the surface of the skin where they should be.
All in all, Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile. It's definitely one of the best UV-filter agents we have today, especially in the US where new-generation Tinosorb filters are not (yet) approved.
**Zinc Oxide (3%) - goodie
What-it-does: sunscreen | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 1
When it comes to sunscreen agents, Zinc Oxide is pretty much in a league of its own. It's a physical (or inorganic) sunscreen that has a lot in common with fellow inorganic sunscreen Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) but a couple of things make it superior even to TiO2.
If physical sunscreens don't tell you anything, go ahead and read about the basics here. Most of what we wrote about Titanium Dioxide is also true for Zinc Oxide so we will focus here on the differences.
The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicer and even broader spectrum protection. It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadest range sunscreen available today.
It's also highly stable and non-irritating. So much so that Zinc Oxide also counts as a skin protectant and anti-irritant. It's also often used to treat skin irritations such as diaper rash.
As for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin, although, according to a 2000 research paper by Dr. Pinnell, it's slightly less white than TiO2. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often.
We wrote more about nanoparticles and the concerns around them here, but the gist is that if nanoparticles were absorbed into the skin that would be a reason for legitimate health concerns. But luckily, so far research shows that sunscreen nanoparticles are not absorbed but remain on the surface of the skin or in the uppermost (dead) layer of the skin. This seems to be true even if the skin is damaged, for example, sunburnt.
All in all, if you've found a Zinc Oxide sunscreen that you are happy to use every single day, that's fantastic and we suggest you stick with it. It's definitely one of the best, or probably even the best option out there for sun protection available worldwide.
What-it-does: emollient, solvent
A super commonly used 5 unit long, cyclic structured silicone that is water-thin and does not stay on the skin but evaporates from it (called volatile silicone). Similar to other silicones, it gives skin and hair a silky, smooth feel.
It's often combined with the non-volatile (i.e. stays on the skin) dimethicone as the two together form a water-resistant, breathable protective barrier on the skin without a negative tacky feel.
Jojoba Esters
What-it-does: soothing, emollient, moisturizer/humectant
Jojoba-derived emollient wax esters (fatty acid + fatty alcohol) that make your skin feel nice and smooth. Chemically speaking, pure jojoba oil is also a wax ester (read our shiny explanation here), however, the ingredients called jojoba esters on the ingredient lists are made from jojoba oil and/or hydrogenated jojoba oil via interesterification.
They have multiple versions with variable fatty acid chain length and the ingredient can have a liquid, a creamy, a soft or firm paste, or even a hard wax consistency. The common thing between all versions is, that unlike most normal triglyceride oils, jojoba esters have superior stability, provide non-greasy emolliency and are readily absorbed into the skin.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
What-it-does: emollient
A super common emollient that makes your skin feel nice and smooth. It comes from coconut oil and glycerin, it's light-textured, clear, odorless and non-greasy. It's a nice ingredient that just feels good on the skin, and it's also easy to formulate with. No wonder it's popular.
A clear, almost colorless (or slightly yellowish) oily liquid (an ester to be precise) that's used as a medium spreading emollient. It gives skin a nice and smooth after-feel and it's very good at reducing oiliness or greasiness coming from other heavier oils in the formula.
Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone
Also-called: Cetyl Dimethicone Copolyol;Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone | What-it-does: emulsifying
A silicone emulsifier that helps water and silicone oils to mix nicely together.
Hexyl Laurate
A fast spreading emollient ester (hexyl alcohol + lauric acid) that's used in water in oil emulsions or in water-free formulas. It gives a light skin feel.
Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate
A helpful emollient ingredient that gives products a light, smooth-skin feeling. You'll find it mostly in products containing SPF, as, according to several manufacturers, it can increase the water resistance and spreadability of UV filters. With better spreadability, less filters are needed to provide the same SPF, making the formula lighter and nicer to use and with improved water resistance, your protection will last that bit longer in the pool.
*****Betula Alba (White Birch) Bark Extract - goodie
Also-called: Birch Bark Extract;Betula Alba Bark Extract | What-it-does: antioxidant, soothing, astringent
It's the extract from the silver-white bark of the Birch tree that grows on moors in North and Middle Europe and in North America. It contains tannins and triterpenes that give the extract antioxidant, anti-irritant and astringent magic properties.
There is also research showing that birch bark extract can improve the skin barrier, increase skin hydration and reduce trans-epidermal water loss. Can be a useful ingredient both for dry and oily skin.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract - superstar
Also-called: Green Tea | What-it-does: antioxidant, soothing, antimicrobial/antibacterial
Green tea is one of the most researched natural ingredients
The active parts are called polyphenols, or more precisely catechins (EGCG being the most abundant and most active catechin)
There can be huge quality differences between green tea extracts. The good ones contain 50-90% catechins (and often make the product brown and give it a distinctive smell)
Green tea is proven to be a great antioxidant, UV protectant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial
Because of these awesome properties green tea is a great choice for anti-aging and also for skin diseases including rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis

Also-called: Cera Alba | What-it-does: emollient, viscosity controlling | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0-2
It's the yellow, solid stuff that you probably know from beeswax candles. It's a natural material produced by honey bees to build their honeycomb.
As for skincare, it's used as an emollient and thickening agent. It's super common in lip balms and lipsticks.
What-it-does: emollient | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 1
Probably the most common silicone of all. It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid.
As for skincare, it makes the skin silky smooth, creates a subtle gloss and forms a protective barrier (aka occlusive). Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). There are also scar treatment gels out there using dimethicone as their base ingredient. It helps to soften scars and increase their elasticity.
As for hair care, it is a non-volatile silicone meaning that it stays on the hair rather than evaporates from it and smoothes the hair like no other thing. Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types).
Squalane - goodie
What-it-does: skin-identical ingredient, emollient | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 1
It seems to us that squalane is in fashion and there is a reason for it. Chemically speaking, it is a saturated (no double bonds) hydrocarbon (a molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen), meaning that it's a nice and stable oily liquid with a long shelf life.
It occurs naturally in certain fish and plant oils (e.g. olive), and in the sebum (the oily stuff our skin produces) of the human skin. As f.c. puts it in his awesome blog post, squalane's main things are "emolliency, surface occlusion, and TEWL prevention all with extreme cosmetic elegance". In other words, it's a superb moisturizer that makes your skin nice and smooth, without being heavy or greasy.
Another advantage of squalane is that it is pretty much compatible with all skin types and skin conditions. It is excellent for acne-prone skin and safe to use even if you have fungi-related skin issues, like seborrhea or fungal acne.
The unsaturated (with double bonds) and hence less stable version of Squalane is Squalene, you can read about it here >>
Also-called: Vitamin E Acetate | What-it-does: antioxidant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
It's the most commonly used version of pure vitamin E in cosmetics. You can read all about the pure form here. This one is the so-called esterified version.
According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it's also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E.
****Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate - goodie
Also-called: Form of Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Isotetrapalmitate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, ATIP;Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate | What-it-does: antioxidant, skin brightening
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form of skincare big shot Vitamin C. If you do not know, why Vitamin C is such a big deal in skincare, click here and read all about it. We are massive vitamin C fans and have written about it in excruciating detail.
So now, you know that Vitamin C is great and all, but it's really unstable and gives cosmetics companies many headaches. To solve this problem they came up with vitamin C derivatives, and one of them is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (let's call it ATIP in short).
It's a really promising candidate (see below), but while reading all the goodness about it in a minute, do not forget that derivatives not only have to be absorbed into the skin but also have to be converted to pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid or AA) and the efficacy of the conversion is often unknown. In addition, vitamin C's three magic properties (antioxidant, collagen booster, skin brightener) are all properly proven in-vivo (on real people), but for the derivatives, it's mostly in-vitro studies or in the case of ATIP, it's in-vitro and done by an ingredient supplier.
With this context in mind let's see what ATIP might be able to do. First, it is stable (if pH < 5), easy to formulate and a joy to work with for a cosmetic chemist.
Second, because it's oil-soluble, its skin penetration abilities seem to be great. So great in fact, that it surpasses the penetration of pure vitamin C threefold at the same concentration and it penetrates successfully into the deeper layers of the skin (that is usually important to do some anti-aging work). There is also in-vitro data showing that it converts to AA in the skin.
Third, ATIP seems to have all three magic abilities of pure vitamin C: it gives antioxidant protection from both UVB and UVA rays, it increases collagen synthesis (even more than AA) and it has a skin brightening effect by reducing melanogenesis by more than 80% in human melanoma cell cultures.
So this all sounds really great, but these are only in-vitro results at this point. We could find Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate mentioned only in one published in-vivo study that examined the anti-aging properties of a silicone formula containing 10% AA and 7% ATIP. The authors theorized that the 10% AA is released slowly from the silicon delivery system and probably stays in the upper layer of the skin to give antioxidant benefits, while ATIP penetrates more rapidly and deeply and gives some wrinkle-reducing benefits. The study was a small (10 patients), double-blind experiment, and the formula did show some measurable anti-aging results. However, it is hard to know how much pure vitamin C or ATIP can be thanked.
Bottom line: a really promising, but not well-proven vitamin C derivative that can be worth a try especially if you like experimenting (but if you like the tried and true, pure vitamin C will be your best bet).
Tocopherol - goodie
Also-called: Vitamin E | What-it-does: antioxidant | Irritancy: 0-3 | Comedogenicity: 0-3
Primary fat-soluble antioxidant in our skin
Significant photoprotection against UVB rays
Vit C + Vit E work in synergy and provide great photoprotection
Has emollient properties
Easy to formulate, stable and relatively inexpensive
Read all the geeky details about Tocopherol here >>
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 - goodie
Also-called: Syn-Coll | What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient
A tripeptide (three amino acids attached to each other: Lys-Val-Lys) that's claimed to protect and boost collagen and improve skin texture.
The manufacturer did an in-vivo (made on real people) study with 45 volunteers and found that used twice daily for 84 days 1% and 2.5% Syn-Coll reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 7 and 12% respectively. In another study (also by the manufacturer) with 33 female Chinese volunteers, 77% of the participants felt that Syn-Coll visibly improved the firmness and elasticity of the skin after 4 weeks. What's more, 60% of the participants also noticed a reduction in the look of the pore size also after 4 weeks of treatment.
What-it-does: emollient, viscosity controlling | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 1
A chemically modified version of castor oil that results in a solid, waxy material that serves as an emollient and consistency building material.
It also has some unique moisturizing properties as it is both occlusive and humectant. The former one is common for oils and waxes and it means that it sits on top of the skin hindering water to evaporate out of the top layers. The latter one, the humectant property, is surprising and comes from the unique property of ricinoleic acid (the dominant fatty acid in castor oil) having an extra water-loving -OH group on its otherwise oil-loving fatty chain. We have some more info about this at castor oil, so if you are interested, read on here.
***Lecithin - goodie
A very common ingredient that can be found in all cell membranes. In cosmetics it's quite the multi-tasker: it's an emollient and water-binding ingredient but it's also an emulsifier and can be used for stabilization purposes. It's also often used to create liposomes.
A 100% plant derived, natural (Ecocert approved) multi-functional ingredient that has emollient and moisturizing properties, can work as a co-emulsifier (meaning that next to other emulsifiers it can help water and oil to mix) and even more importantly has a strong antimicrobial activity.
Thanks to this last thing, it allows a lower percentage of traditional preservative or it might even be able to completely replace them.
Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate - goodie
Also-called: SYN-HYCAN | What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient
A small, three amino acid synthetic tripeptide with a molecular weight smaller than 500 Da (500 Da is often referred to as the limit for proper skin penetration).
The manufacturer claims that it can boost the synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the skin (up to 300% based on in-vitro tests) that is important for proper skin hydration and plumpness. It can also improve collagen fiber quality by increasing some structural skin elements (so-called proteoglycans), like decorin and lumican.
The peptide is suggested for firming and remodelling treatments, as well as against skin sagging. It's also marketed as a "needle-free hyaluronan booster".
*****Yeast Extract (Faex) - goodie
You probably know yeast from the kitchen where you put it into milk with a little sugar and then after a couple of minutes brownish bubbles form. That is the fungi fermenting the sugar.
As for skin care, yeast contains beta-glucan that is a great soothing ingredient and also a mild antioxidant. The yeast extract itself is a silky clear liquid that has some great moisturizing, skin protecting and film-forming properties on the skin.
What-it-does: absorbent/mattifier
Boron Nitride is a graphite-like, crystalline material that has light-diffusing and texture improving properties. It is quite the multi-tasker as it can blur imperfections, add an exceptional creamy feel to products and act as a mattifying agent.
In powder makeup products (think blushers, highlighters), it enhances the skin feel and improves the color pay-off. In lipsticks, it gives a creamy feel and a better color on the lips.
Epigallocatechin Gallate - superstar
Also-called: EGCG | What-it-does: antioxidant, soothing
If EGCG does not tell you anything, green tea sure does. We have written about green tea in excruciating details, so if you wanna become an expert in the "green tea in skincare" topic, click here and read it.
So now you know that EGCG is the magic ingredient in green tea. It's the most active polyphenol that green tea owes most of its magic properties to. It's a fantastic antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic agent. Be happy, if you spot it on the ingredient list.
Ubiquinone - goodie
Also-called: Coenzyme Q10 | What-it-does: antioxidant
Thanks to Nivea, Q10 is a pretty well-known ingredient and the fame and Beiersdorf's (the parent company of Nivea) obsession with it are not for no reason. It's an antioxidant found naturally in human cells where it plays a big role in energy production.
In fact, it's so important for energy production that if taken as an oral supplement it has a caffeine-like effect and if taken at night you will probably not sleep very well (so you should take it in the morning). Q10 supplementation is not a bad idea: it not only gives you energy but research also shows that oral Q10 increases the Q10 level of the skin (of course, it decreases with age like pretty much every good thing in the skin) and may help to reduce wrinkles. If you are not for supplements, dietary sources include fish, spinach, and nuts.
As for skincare, Q10 comes in the form of a yellow, oil-soluble powder that's shown to absorb into the upper layer of the skin and act there like an awesome antioxidant. It not only has preventative effects but might also be able to reduce the depth of wrinkles, though 0.3% Q10 was used in the study that counts as really high (products containing that much should be very yellow!).
Also-called: Salt | What-it-does: viscosity controlling
Sodium chloride is the fancy name of salt. Normal, everyday table salt.
If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents (aka surfactants) such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. A couple of percents (typically 1-3%) turns a runny surfactant solution into a nice gel texture.
If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the phenomenon called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again.
Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil (or silicone) phase. And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list (and is not dissolved), the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent.
Glyceryl Isostearate
What-it-does: preservative, antimicrobial/antibacterial
A little helper ingredient that works as a preservative. It works against bacteria and some species of fungi and yeast. It's often combined with IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol.
Polyhydroxystearic Acid
A so-called dispersant or dispersing agent that's used in inorganic (titanium dioxide/zinc oxide based) sunscreens or in make-up products to help to distribute the pigments nicely and evenly on the skin. It's also claimed to increase the UV absorption of the sunscreen formula as well as to reduce the annoying white cast left behind by inorganic sunscreens.
What-it-does: viscosity controlling
A kind of salt that's used as a thickener in cosmetic products.
An Ecocert-approved, natural preservative that counts as gentle and non-irritating to the skin. Usually, it comes to the formula as part of a preservative blend as it's not enough on its own.
A mild, natural preservative that usually comes to the formula together with its other mild preservative friends, such as Benzoic Acid and/or Dehydroacetic Acid. Btw, it's also used as a food preservative.
Also-called: Ci 77491/77492/77499 | What-it-does: colorant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
A bit of a sloppy ingredient name as it covers not one but three pigments: red, yellow and black iron oxide.
The trio is invaluable for "skin-colored" makeup products (think your foundation and pressed powder) as blending these three shades carefully can produce almost any shade of natural-looking flesh tones.
