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 WaterC12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is made up of Benzoic Acid and long chain alcohols. It has a low molecular weight.
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is an emollient and texture enhancer. Due to its solubility, it is often used in sunscreens to help evenly distribute active ingredients.
As an emollient, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate helps soften and hydrate your skin. Emollients create a film on your skin that traps moisture within.
This ingredient has been reported to cause eye irritation.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Good over all.
It's good, although I must admit it leaves a white cast that lingers on the skin, even on light skin. It also pills and doesn't work as well under makeup.

I am very sad. My dermatologist advised me to use this sunscreen and it caused pimples under my eyes. I don't like it. It makes my skin very oily and burns my eyes. Its consistency is heavy on oily skin but it doesn't cause redness on the face. After a while, the face becomes very dry if I go out in the sun. My skin is oily and flaky. Very bad.
Good light SPF, doesn't seem greasy in my skin (but my skin is kind of dry). At a reasonable price too.
