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 prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.

WIMJ summary

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).

What does the product description say?

"Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ."

From product name

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, silk amino acids.

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: dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
dimethicone	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
panthenol	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane Avobenzone. An organic, or so-called "chemical" UV filter. Protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Needs to be combined with other filters in a formulation to be stable.	2% Declared
benzophenone-3 Same as oxybenzone. Protects in the UVB and short UVA range. In small concentrations, used to stabilize product formulation. Can be irritating. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can penetrate the skin and get absorbed into bloodstream faster than other popular filters available in the US. The study that produced this finding did not address any potential health effects of the absorption	3% Declared
octocrylene A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	5% Declared
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.5% - 1%
passiflora incarnata fruit extract	3.8% - 5.6%
polymethylsilsesquioxane A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss	4.5% - 6.7%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	3.2% - 4.8%
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.	2.3% - 3.4%
phenethyl benzoate Used as a fragrance	1.9% - 2.9%
methylparaben A preservative	0.15% - 0.3%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
diisopropyl adipate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	1.3% - 1.9%
carica papaya fruit extract	0.9% - 1.35%
plumeria acutifolia flower extract	0.45% - 1.05%
propylparaben A preservative	0.2% - 0.4%
silk amino acids Might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.75%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.15% - 0.65%
ethylhexyl benzoate	0.15% - 0.7%
ceteth-10 phosphate	0.3% - 0.75%
coco-glucoside Used as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating	0.2% - 0.75%
ci 77163 Colorant	0.15% - 0.55%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	0.15% - 0.6%
mangifera indica fruit extract A fruit extract that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. There is no evidence of other benefits in skin	0.1% - 0.4%
colocasia antiquorum root extract	0.1% - 0.4%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.1% - 0.4%
carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.1% - 0.35%
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	0.1% - 0.35%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.1% - 0.35%
psidium guajava fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect	0.1% - 0.3%

water Plain old water	0.1% - 0.35%
polyethylene Used to thicken the product's texture	0.15% - 0.6%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	0.1% - 0.45%
sodium ascorbyl phosphate A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C	0.1% - 0.35%
dicetyl phosphate	0.1% - 0.4%
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	0.1% - 0.4%
paraffin Prevents water loss from the skin surface and thickens the product consistency	0.05% - 0.25%
vp/eicosene copolymer Used to improve the product adherence to the skin, for example, to pro-long the protective effect of sunscreens. Can be irritating to very sensitive skin	0.1% - 0.4%

iron oxides An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499	0.05% - 0.3%
