Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

An aethestician applied this to my face after a chemical peel. Ew. Gross texture, somehow greasy and sticky at the same time. Pills like crazy, doesn't absorb at all. Also the first sunscreen I've ever used that has a /yellow/ cast?? Like sunshine yellow.

So glad I don't actually own this. Washed off and replaced with my usual SPF as soon as I found running water. Horrible.

Wish it was both oil and fragrance free, that’d make a really solid product. Still, not the worst sunscreen out there.
