Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

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!

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a form of Vitamin C. It is the salt of ascorbic acid.

This ingredient is more gentle than ascorbic acid. It is also more stable when exposed to light and oxygen.

Vitamin C helps reduce redness, improve skin texture, reduce the effects of aging, reduce the visibility of dark spots, and brighten skin.

Your skin uses Vitamin C to produce collagen and collagen production plays a role in having a strong skin barrier and plump skin. As an antioxidant, this ingredient also helps reduce the signs of aging such as fine-lines and wrinkles.

VItamin C helps brighten skin by blocking the process of skin darkening.

In a 2011 study, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate was found to have antibacterial properties. This may help treat acne.

Update: I've put this back into my routine now that I'm back in my normal environment and now giving this five stars. It works WAY better (humid summers/dry winters), doesn't pill under my moisturizers, plays well with my makeup, and doesn't break me out while giving me hydration.

TL;DR: Doesn't sting. FA safe. Feels gritty after a couple hours and doesn't keep my skin moisturized.

Cannot praise this enough! I was a bit skeptical as it doesn’t say anything about being for your face but wow does this hydrate my skin so well without making me feel greasy. Doesn’t sting your eyes either. I almost feel excited to put it on in the morning whereas I would be worried about breakouts with other SPFs.

I love it!! Doesn't break me out and per the package is water and sweat resistant. This is what I use when I hike or excercise outside, since most sport suncreens irritate me eyes. Consistency is runny so I apply directly onto face.

Edit: I have tanned very light brown skin, similar to zendaya's, and the suncreen did leave a temporary and subtle white cast, though it was not streaky and faded Show more
