Formula review

WIMJ summary

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

This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.

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.

WIMJ summary

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: glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

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: cocos nucifera oil, sesamum indicum seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sesamum indicum seed oil	HIGH
cocos nucifera oil	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation	4.8% - 5.9%
dicaprylyl ether Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients	3.2% - 4%
