Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Polyethylene is a synthetic ingredient that helps the skin retain moisture. It is a polymer.
It is also typically used within product formulations to help bind solid ingredients together and thicken oil-based ingredients. When added to balms and emulsions, it helps increase the melting point temperature.
Isopropyl Palmitate is a texture enhancer and emollient. It is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid.
Palmitates are emollients. Emollients help keep your skin soft and smooth by creating a barrier that traps moisture in.
When added to cosmetics, Isopropyl Palmitate creates a silky texture and improves spreadability.
Isopropyl Palmitate may not be fungal acne safe. It can worsen acne prone skin.

I actually bought this back in July but I have to say that it was an awful experience applying this. Even though the applicator shape is similar to the Abib Quick Sunstick the texture is very different. Although this had more of a matte finish it felt rather greasy/grainy on my face. This may be better for those with a drier skin type, but I can't say I'd sign off on this one.
Really good sunscreen option for those with sensitive/sensitized skin. Leaves my skin looking glowing, but not oily.
