Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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.

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.
