Product summary

"Whamisa - Organic Flowers Sun Cream SPF 14" offers broad spectrum protection. It means that it protects from both UVA and UVB rays (you can remember UVB as "burning" sunlight - they cause sunburn. You can remember UVA rays as "aging" - they do not lead to sunburn, but they cause photodamage and contribute to early signs of skin aging and hyperpigmentation). On the negative side, the SPF of this sunscreen is not high enough. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day.

Sunscreen filters

This product is a mineral sunscreen. It uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for sun protection. Both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide almost never irritate even the most sensitive skin and eyes, but can leave a white cast.

Irritation risk

There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. 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 does not offer sun protection, or it is very low.

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 for anti-aging

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

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: lactobacillus/rice ferment filtrate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, cera alba.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
argania spinosa kernel oil	HIGH
butyrospermum parkii butter	HIGH
lactobacillus	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) 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
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM
spirulina platensis extract	LOW
scutellaria baicalensis root extract	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
lac extract	4.5% - 6.8%
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	5% - 7.5%
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	4.1% - 6.2%
olea europaea fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation	2.9% - 4.3%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	2.2% - 3.3%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.6% - 2.5%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	1.5% - 2.2%
argania spinosa kernel oil An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties	1.3% - 1.9%
rhodiola rosea root extract	1.1% - 1.7%
lactobacillus/rice ferment filtrate A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus out of rice. The fermented product helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking	1% - 1.45%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.85% - 1.25%
camellia japonica seed oil A plant oil that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help restore skin's barrier function. Might have an anti-oxidant effect	0.85% - 1.3%
cera alba 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	0.95% - 1.4%
lactobacillus A non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation	0.5% - 1.2%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
lactobacillus/nelumbo nucifera seed ferment filtrate	0.5% - 1.2%
lactobacillus A non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation	0.5% - 1.15%
taraxacum officinale root	0.4% - 0.95%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
cetearyl olivate Helps oil and water mix together	0.4% - 0.9%
sorbitan olivate Helps oil and water mix together	0.35% - 0.85%
scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties	0.35% - 0.8%
paeonia suffruticosa root extract	0.35% - 0.75%
glycyrrhiza glabra root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	0.35% - 0.8%
spirulina platensis extract An algae extract. Might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and have an anti-oxidant effect	0.2% - 0.75%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.2% - 0.75%
aniba rosaeodora wood oil	0.15% - 0.65%
citrus aurantium bergamia fruit oil A plant oil with a high content of volatile compounds that can irritate the skin and lead to allergic reactions. Can lead to photosensitivity	0.15% - 0.55%
rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil A plant oil with high content of volatile compounds that can irritate the skin. Can be used as a fragrance. Has anti-bacterial properties and might help neutralize free radicals on the surface of the skin	0.15% - 0.6%
lavandula angustifolia oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties	0.1% - 0.5%
cymbopogon schoenanthus oil	0.1% - 0.4%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.1% - 0.35%
