Ingredients Explained

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.
