Summary
This product relies on a single UV filter in a relatively low concentration, and this is why the sun protection might be not reliable. Make sure to use a large quantity of product and re-apply more frequently

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can be helpful for moisturization, but will not get the job done on its own. Can soften skin and might help reduce water loss over time, but is missing ingredients that attract water to the skin (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 titanium dioxide 11% 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 aqua Plain old water
3 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
4 c12-15 alkyl benzoate Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth
5 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
6 undecane Helps create a non-greasy finish on the skin
7 triethylhexanoin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
8 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
9 styrene/acrylates copolymer Used to create an even product consistency. Can help boost efficiency of sunscreen filters
10 nylon-12 Used to create a nice product consistency
11 caprylyl methicone A type of silicone that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish on the skin
12 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
13 phenethyl benzoate Used as a fragrance
14 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
15 tridecane Helps create a dry, non-greasy finish of the skin
16 dicaprylyl carbonate Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin
17 dicaprylyl ether Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients
18 talc Absorbs oil and moisture helping to create a dryer product finish
19 dimethicone/peg-10/15 crosspolymer Helps oil and water mix together
20 aluminum stearate Used to help evenly disperse other ingredients (for example, pigment) in a formulation
21 peg-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together
22 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
23 alumina The same compound that is used safely in dental implants and bone cements. In cosmetics, it is used to improve the consistency of products
24 aluminum hydroxide Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate)
25 benzoic acid A preservative
26 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
