It contains the ingredients from "LexFeel" a natural silicone alternative that gives it some of the nice silicone smoothness without the excessive occlusivenes that causes me to develop red welts whever I use solicone products. The bentonite helps control oil a bit, and overall it just Show more
Current favorite mineral sunscreen that doesn't make my oily, big pore skin look or feel awful
