Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butyloctyl Salicylate is similar to octisalate. It a photostabilizer, SPF booster, emollient and solvent. Its main purpose is to evenly spread out ingredients.
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.

It helps soften and soothe the skin by creating a thin film on top. This film helps trap moisture, keeping your skin hydrated.
Dimethicone is a type of synthetic silicone created from natural materials such as quartz.
What it does:
Dimethicone comes in different viscosities:
Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

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
