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 3% 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 octisalate 5% 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
3 octocrylene 10% 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
4 oxybenzone 6% 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
5 homosalate 15% 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
6 water Plain old water
7 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
8 styrene/acrylates copolymer Used to create an even product consistency. Can help boost efficiency of sunscreen filters
9 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
10 acrylates/dimethicone copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen), evenly disperse pigements and create a nice product consistency
11 peg-100 stearate Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture
12 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
13 stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin
14 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
15 peg-8 laurate Helps oil and water mix together
16 triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
17 isoeugenol
18 fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
19 methylparaben A preservative
20 vitis vinifera (grape) fruit extract A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
21 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
22 chlorphenesin A preservative
23 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
24 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
25 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
26 acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
