WIMJ summary for sun protection

This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

It is a mineral sunscreen. In other words, it contains non-organic UV filters. It will probably not sting your eyes but might leave a white cast.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
dimethicone	HIGH
cocos nucifera oil	HIGH
aleurites moluccanus seed oil	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
titanium dioxide Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	2.9% Declared
zinc oxide A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant	7.8% Declared
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	24% - 36%
aleurites moluccanus seed oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	7.4% - 11.1%
algae extract Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet	5.5% - 8.2%
allyl heptanoate	3.5% - 5.3%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	2.8% - 4.2%
butyloctyl salicylate A synthetic ester of salicylic acid that is used to help disperse pigments and boost effectiveness of sunscreen ingredients. It is able to absorb UV light (working as an organic, or chemical filter), but is not approved as a sunscreen ingredient on its own	2.5% - 3.7%
c30-38 olefin/isopropyl maleate/ma copolymer	2.1% - 3.2%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	2% - 3%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	1.4% - 2%
cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin	0.95% - 1.45%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	0.55% - 1.35%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	0.55% - 1.25%
ethylhexyl methoxycrylene Helps improve stability of sunscreen filters and boost their effectiveness	0.35% - 0.85%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.35% - 0.85%
gamma-decalactone	0.3% - 0.75%
gamma-nonalactone	0.3% - 0.7%
gamma-octalactone	0.3% - 0.75%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	0.4% - 0.9%
heliotropine	0.3% - 0.7%
isohexadecane Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent	0.5% - 1.15%
lauryl peg-8 dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together	0.3% - 0.7%
octyldodecyl citrate crosspolymer	0.3% - 0.7%
peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency	0.2% - 0.75%
phenylpropanol Helps mask the smell of other ingredients and helps preserve the product formulation	0.15% - 0.65%
raspberry ketone Used as a fragrance. It can reduce skin pigmentation, but it is not safe to use for these purposes in high concentrations as use of raspberry ketone and its derivative is linked to causing loss of skin pigmentation in people (leukoderma)	0.15% - 0.65%
silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin	0.4% - 0.95%
sea salt Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products	0.15% - 0.6%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.15% - 0.6%
triethoxycaprylylsilane A type of silicone that helps oil and water mix well together. Helps to disperse other ingredients, e.g. pigments, evenly in a formulation	0.1% - 0.5%
triethyl citrate Used as a fragrance. Rarely causes irritation	0.1% - 0.35%
vanillin	0.1% - 0.35%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	0.1% - 0.45%
water Plain old water	0.05% - 0.15%
