Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

ThinkSport Safe Sunscreen SPF 50+ contains this as ingredient number 5.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Halloween Makeup
If you need to give your skin a pallor look, this sunscreen is great! If you want it for any other reason, look elsewhere. The white cast on this sunscreen is so intense I ended up using this on halloween to make me look sickly (yes I’m serious). I’m already naturally very pale so I thought maybe I could pull off this 100% mineral sunscreen BUT NOPE.
I can not feasibly see any way for someone to be using enough of this sunscreen for adequate protection and not have an insane white cast. I suppose if you spend several minutes rubbing at this you might be able to diminish some of the cast, but at that point what’s the point of wearing sunscreen? If you’ve rubbed in a sunscreen that much then it’s not going to give you the protection you need either. I can’t recommend this product to anyone.
Pretty bad whitecast, and takes awhile to rub in, but works well and has a scent very similar to citronella to keep bugs off. Good for outdoor work.
