Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.
Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide can be harmful to coral reefs.

Zinc Oxide also has antibacterial and calming properties. It is not water soluble.
Zinc has been used throughout history as an ingredient in paint and medicine. An Indian text from 500BC is believed to list zinc oxide as a salve for open wound. The Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides has also mentioned the use of zinc as an ointment in 1AD.

Extremely greasy. Even as someone with dry skin who enjoys a glowy look, this is way too much for me. I only wore it once, and I had to use a mattifying powder to feel ok going outside. I suppose it's usable if you powder your face every time, but I don't want to have to do that.
On the positive side it is a very affordable mineral sunscreen that leaves only a very minimal white cast, while also being SPF 50. It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free. Too bad about the extreme grease.

Clean product but still left my face feeling greasy
An affordable, no-nonsense mineral sunscreen, free of most allergens and irritants, great for those with sensitive skin. The sunscreen separates a bit so you must shake it before dispensing it into your hands. Unfortunately, my face still feels greasy and a bit sticky after I apply it, but I haven't yet found a sunscreen that doesn't feel this way so maybe I am just expecting too much?
Ouch
