Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Emollient, Masking

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 love this for secondary application. I don't feel confident in getting an even application with the stick alone, so I start with the BOJ Relief Sun in the morning and use the stick for reapplication during the day. I love the matte effect and how soft my skin feels. The small size slips easily into my purse. I'm obsessed with BOJ sunscreens!

Balances oily skin
My skin type is redness-prone, oily, and acne-prone.
The sunstick has a satin finish. It’s quite effective at absorbing facial oils that accumulate as the day progresses. I noticed less redness in my skin tone, likely from the mugwort and camelia.

Strong cheap scent of cherry. Applicator is not really well designed. But moisturizes lips nicely.
