From: Walmart

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 avobenzone 2.96% Avobenzone. A broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it can protect against both UVA rays. Currently, it is the only sunscreen ingredient available in the US (approved by the FDA) with the peak absorbance within the UVA I range. It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
2 homosalate 8.78% A weak sunscreen that offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not offer meaningful protection against protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation
3 octisalate 4.88% Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen
4 octocrylene 5.92% 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

10 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
11 sorbitan trioleate

13 paraffin Prevents water loss from the skin surface and thickens the product consistency
14 isoeugenol
15 fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
