Hydraterende Crème SPF 15

Product summary

We do not recommend "Meditopics - Hydraterende Crème SPF 15" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 2.20% - 3.30% and octinoxate 1.90% - 2.80%.

Irritation risk

This formulation includes some common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this product to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

From product name

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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: fructose, glycerin.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, vitis vinifera seed oil.

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
vitis vinifera seed oil	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin	4.5% - 6.7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	3.2% - 4.7%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	2.5% - 3.7%

The study that produced this finding did not address any potential health effects of the absorption	2.2% - 3.3%
ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation.

inositol	0.15% - 0.65%
