Ingredients Side-by-side
Octyldodecanol is a fatty alcohol. It is primarily used to enhance the texture of products.
Dicaprylyl Carbonate comes from carbonic acid and caprylyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol. It is an emollient and gives skin a velvet feel. The sources of Dicaprylyl Carbonate may be synthetic or from animals.
2 Concerns
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an organic compound that provides UVB protection. It often goes by the more common name of octinoxate. It is created from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
2 Concerns
Octocrylene protects skin from sun damage. It absorbs UV-B with peak absorption of 304 nm. It is a common sunscreen ingredient and often paired with avobenzone, a UVA filter. This is because octocrylene stabilizes other sunscreen ingredients by protecting them from degradation when exposed to sunlight. Octocrylene is a photostable ingredient and loses about 10% of SPF in 95 minutes.
Non-Reef-Safe
Homosalate is a chemical sunscreen filter that provides protection in the UV-B range (280nm - 320 nm), with a peak protection at 306 nm. It is internationally approved for use in sunscreens.

The INCI seems great on paper and it actually feels pleasant on the skin but unfortunately, my skin was burning at the end of the day and it was red and irritated each time. It even gave me small whiteheads that seemed to be those typical whiteheads one gets from irritation (I never get them otherwise, not my type of acne). I then checked out what's up with alpha-arbutin. All online sources I came across say it's safe to use up to 2% for face creams. 5 is way over that and I think it's exactly this that made my skin angry. Now, it's either my skin is more sensitive to it and 5% shouldn't be an issue for most and I'm the outlier here or 5% is bad practice and most will react negatively to putting this on their faces daily. I'm thinking latter, considering the info online. I'm regretting paying 50€ for this 😭 I guess I'll use it on my hands?
