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 WaterDiethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB) is a chemical UV-A absorber. It is formulated for high UVA protection (320-400 nm).
DHHB is well-liked for:

It is used to stabilize the mixing of water and oil ingredients. By preventing these ingredients from separating, it can help elongate shelf life. It can also help thicken the product's texture.
As an emollient, it helps soften skin and supports barrier-replenishing ingredients.
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Stearate is often made from vegetable oils or synthetically produced.
This ingredient may not be fungal-acne safe
Fun fact: The human body also creates Glyceryl Stearate naturally.

Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

MY HOLY GRAIL SUNSCREEN! I have oily/acne prone sensitive skin and I love this. It's very moisturizing and absorbs well into the skin and leaves a natural finish like, you just have healthy looking skin. This feels like a lightweight gel moisturizer and works well under makeup without any white cast.
Perfect Sunscreen for oily to normal skin. It dries quickly and leaves a natural finish. Unfortunately it can trigger fungal acne:(

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.
