Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

This ingredient is a common sunscreen ingredient carrier and photostabilizer. According to a manufacturer, it is suitable for carrying micro Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, and pigments.
Photostabilizers help stabilize UV-filters and prevents them from degrading quickly.
Due to regulation loopholes, this ingredient is not required to be labeled as an active chemical filter like other UV ingredients. This is why you'll likely find this ingredient in mineral sunscreens from the US.
According to EU regulation, this ingredient can cause harmful effects to aquatic life.

Glyceryl Stearate is a mix of glycerin and stearic acid.
It is used to stabilize the mixing of water and oil ingredients. By preventing these ingredients from separating, it can help elongate shelf life. It can also help thicken the product's texture.
As an emollient, it helps soften skin and supports barrier-replenishing ingredients.
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Stearate is often made from vegetable oils or synthetically produced.

Chlorphenesin is soluble in both water and glycerin.

Not horrible, not the best
I've used this sunscreen for a couple months now. The price is pretty good and I like the size, it's good for travel or bringing with you to reapply. I also like how it protects against both UVA and UVB. The reason I have it three stars is because I do notice a little pilling with it and it does make my face looks greasy for about 15-30 minutes after application(it does Show more
i liked it before i got into skincare but doesn’t mesh well with my routine at all. i struggle with redness/ very mild rosacea and immediately after putting this on today i watched my skin turn redder so not the best if you have that. i guess for regular no routine this isn’t the worst but i wouldn’t recommend this product to friends

I'm not really sure if its effective, but I use this as a body sunscreen, especially when swimming in pools. Will have to use this again to see any changes and edit my review.
