Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that this product can offer reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

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. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: avobenzone 3.00% - 3.70%, octinoxate 2.50% - 3.10% and octocrylene 1.40% - 1.70%.

Irritation risk

This product contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive. We assess the overall irritancy of this sunscreen to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

WIMJ summary for sun protection

This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.

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: allantoin, 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
saccharide isomerate	HIGH

See a mistake?

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium ascorbyl phosphate	MEDIUM
tocopheryl acetate	LOW

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane
ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate
caprylic/capric triglyceride

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
caramel	6.6% - 8%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4% - 4.9%
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	3.1% - 3.8%
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane Avobenzone. An organic, or so-called "chemical" UV filter. Protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Needs to be combined with other filters in a formulation to be stable.	3% - 3.7%
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	2.5% - 3.1%
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	1.8% - 2.2%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	1.4% - 1.8%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
octocrylene 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	1.4% - 1.7%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.65% - 1%
sodium ascorbyl phosphate A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C	0.55% - 0.8%
sodium stearoyl glutamate Helps oil and water mix together	0.5% - 0.8%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	0.55% - 0.8%
benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating	0.3% - 0.55%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.3% - 0.6%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.3% - 0.55%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.3% - 0.55%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.25% - 0.5%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.25% - 0.45%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.2% - 0.35%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.25% - 0.45%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.35%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.15% - 0.3%
dehydroacetic acid A preservative	0.15% - 0.3%
citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.15% - 0.3%
evernia prunastri extract	0.15% - 0.25%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.3%
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	0.15% - 0.3%
geraniol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.2%
eugenol A fragrance. Is a likely irritant	0.1% - 0.15%
ci 77491 A red colorant made of iron oxide. Typically is not irritating	0.1% - 0.15%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
