Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Cosmetic Colorant, Skin Protecting, UV Absorber

Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.

Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide may be harmful to coral reefs - though the verdict is not entirely out on this one.

Zinc Oxide also has antibacterial and calming properties. It is not water soluble.

Zinc has been used throughout history as an ingredient in paint and medicine. An Indian text from 500BC is believed to list zinc oxide as a salve for open wound. The Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides has also mentioned the use of zinc as an ointment in 1AD.

I have combination to oily skin and this sunscreen drys out some areas of my face. The area around my mouth and my cheeks feel dry and the rest of my face feels normal. I have to put on moisturizer before putting on the sunscreen, so that my face doesn't feel dry and cracked throughout the day. Even after double cleansing my skin feels really dry after using this.

I personally feel like this Show more

Extremely drying. 99% positive this sunscreen damaged my barrier I think it might just be my skin being overly sensitive to mineral sunscreen as a whole though.
