What it does: Preservative
Community Rating: Very Disliked

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent germ and microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++ 01 Clear contains this as ingredient number 17.

mixed feelings
i really loved this sunscreen at first. it is moisturizing, blends in well and it doesn’t give me a white cast.
however, i have some problems with this product. firstly, it stings my eyes painfully, even when i try to avoid applying it in that area. there is also some pilling that can occur, especially when another product also containing dimethicone is applied to the skin.
overall, while this certainly isn’t the worst sunscreen i’ve tried, i won’t be repurchasing after i run out.

I always come back to this tried and true sunscreen whenever they suddenly discontinue whatever trendy sunscreen I was using. It's way too shiny on me, but otherwise perfect.

Bondi Sands…
I’ve tried many different sunscreens from this brand. Their SPF 30 Fragrance-free Sunscreen Lotion was too under-protective. Their SPF 50 Fragrance-free Face Sunscreen Lotion was too thick and gloopy yet was too uncomfortable to apply. But when I decided to switch to this product, it was the best decision of my life….

This product has excellent consistency yet the texture is unbelievably creamy. The application is comfortably and easy with NO creases! I haven’t gotten any sunburns ever since I turned to this product. It gives me extra protection! The colours aren’t faded + the packaging is TO DIE FOR - It even is compatible with young skin. I’m not sure what I’d be doing without this…

Seriously the best sunscreens ever for a black girl, it doesn't leave a white cast and it also isn't greasy like the regular 'Bondi Sands' and other sunscreens.
