Formula review

WIMJ summary

This product uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide a reliable sun protection.

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 soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, helianthus annuus seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
zinc oxide A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant	12% - 14%
coconut alkanes An emollient that helps soften the skin	5.6% - 6.9%
dicaprylyl ether Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients	3.7% - 4.5%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	3% - 3.6%
polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate Helps water and oil mix together	2.6% - 3.1%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	2.3% - 2.8%

coco-caprylate/caprate Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture	0.8% - 1.2%
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	0.95% - 1.15%
magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.6% - 0.9%
hectorite	0.5% - 0.75%
