Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Bioderma Cicabio SPF 50+ 37 ingredients
It was recommended to me due to my rosacea. It felt ok, but stings in the eyes. I can't be sure if it was this that broke me out while using it, had a couple of pimples every once in a while but felt soothing and moisturizing. It has a slightly greasy texture.
Overall ok but there's probably better for cheaper out there, stopped using it and my rosacea feels less noticeable.
