WIMJ summary

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.

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 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: cyclomethicone, butylene glycol.

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: cetyl dimethicone, cyclomethicone.

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

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
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. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating	24% - 35%
ethylhexyl salicylate 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	6.3% - 9.4%
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	4.4% - 6.6%
titanium dioxide 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	3.3% - 5%
water Plain old water	2.2% - 3.3%
cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer	1.8% - 2.8%
paraffinum liquidum One of the most effective and well studied occlusive and emollient moisturizing ingredients. Helps reduce moisture loss in skin and repair skin barrier function	1.6% - 2.4%
cetyl dimethicone A type of silicone. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice, light product texture	1.4% - 2.1%
lauryl methicone	1.1% - 1.7%
titanium dioxide 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	1.2% - 1.8%
stearyl dimethicone Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.55% - 1.3%
ceresin	0.5% - 1.2%
hydrogenated castor oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	0.45% - 1%
plankton extract Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.4% - 0.9%
propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
propylparaben A preservative	0.2% - 0.4%
diazolidinyl urea A preservative. Works by releasing formaldehyde. Can be irritating	0.25% - 0.5%
methylparaben A preservative	0.15% - 0.3%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
dmdm hydantoin A preservative that releases formaldehyde and can be irritating	0.3% - 0.6%
magnesium chloride Helps thicken the product formulation	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products	0.2% - 0.75%
calcium chloride Helps create a thicker product consistency. Might be irritating	0.2% - 0.7%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.65%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.15% - 0.65%
glycoproteins	0.15% - 0.6%
glycosaminoglycans Long sugars that help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.7%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.1% - 0.45%
