Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
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!
Learn more about WaterSodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:
Learn more about Sodium HyaluronateCaprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.
It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.
Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.
This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.
Learn more about Caprylyl GlycolThis 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.

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Face Sheer Tint SPF 30 50 ingredients
Made me breakout along my jawline like crazy!
I have combination, sensitive, and acne prone skin. My skin tone is light-medium toned with golden/peachy undertones. I have PIH and PIE marks that I am trying to protect and heal as well. This product was so oily and greasy, as well as being too orange for my skin tone. I applied this after my morning skincare routine which is already pretty hydrating, but my jawline has hormonal acne that is Show more

This is a perfect way to top off my SPF before going outside! Also a great way to cover weird areas like my ears with a mist instead of trying to rub liquid sunscreen on my piercings. Nice glass bottle, sustainable. I just wish it was mineral, didn’t smell like chemical sunscreens, and that it was higher coverage than 18spf. EDIT - the nozzle clogged after only using a few times.
