Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.
Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide may be harmful to coral reefs - though the verdict is not entirely out on this one.
Zinc Oxide also has antibacterial and calming properties. It is not water soluble.
Zinc has been used throughout history as an ingredient in paint and medicine. An Indian text from 500BC is believed to list zinc oxide as a salve for open wound. The Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides has also mentioned the use of zinc as an ointment in 1AD.

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!

Really wanted to like this
I have been looking for a mineral sunscreen that is tear free and came across this because it was also fungal acne safe. After using it a few times, I have a couple of things to say:
• I have light olive skin & this leaves a white cast!
• It is very hard to rub in
I will try again and see if there’s anything I can do to make it easier to wear. But for now I dont Show more
HG, for now.
F**king sunscreen, man. It can be a battle for those of us with sensitive, clog-prone, acneic skin. This tube is one of the most soothing & gentle formulas I've ever used. Mineral, with Caprylic Acid and a little bit of glycerin. Doesn't break me out. It's a basic formula and probably only suitable for lighter skin or those who don't mind a white-cast. I'm white/fair and I find it Show more
