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!

Studies have found adenosine may also help with wound healing.
In skincare products, Adenosine is usually derived from yeast.

A phenomenal tinted mineral sunscreen. It has a light, lotion-like texture. Not greasy or heavy at all. It is quick and easy to apply. Dries down to a matte finish. Just very pleasant and effortless to use.
The tint claims to be universal, but of course it's not at all. In fact it's pretty much a perfect match for my skin tone, which is very light and cool toned. (For reference, two of my best Show more
For the girls who need a pale tinted sunscreen this one is for us! I’ve tried dozens of tinted “universal” sunscreens (and us fair skinned folks know that’s just not true) but this one is perfect! It dries down matte and is lightweight cream. Only downside it can be a tad drying (good if your oily/combo like me) but if you have a single dry patch, it will show. Overall I’ll keep using this one Show more
