Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
You might know this ingredient as Tinosorb S or Bemotrizinol. It is a UV filter that covers both UVA and UVB rays.
This ingredient has two peak UV absorption peaks ( 310 and 340 nm) and is able to absorb both UV-A and UV-B rays. This ingredient works by preventing UV rays from reaching and damaging your skin.
On top of that - it is highly photostable and helps prevent the photodegration of other sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone.
Tinosorb S is allowed in the EU, Australia, and Asia. It is close to being approved by the FDA and we'll hopefully get this ingredient in the U.S. by late 2025.
Fun fact: Tinosorb S is the most effective UV absorber at maximum concentration (measured by SPF) permitted in the EU.
This ingredient is oil-soluble, so your oil-cleansers will take this right off at night.

DHHB is well-liked for:
DHHB has been approved by the EU, Japan, Taiwan, and South America for use up to 10%. Unfortunately, it has not been approved for use in the US or Canada due to slow regulatory processes.
This ingredient is soluble in oils, fats, and lipids.

I'm a bit torn about this one. It is a lightweight moisturizing chemical sunscreen, that leaves a dewy finish, spreads great and sinks in within few minutes. But the finish sometimes looks a bit too greasy for my liking. I haven't figured out why on some days it looks better/worse than on others but will update my review in case I do.
I got this as a free sample, and only had enough to use it once, so just take this as my first impression.
First thing is it had a very strong sunscreen smell which I’m not a fan of, so if that’s an issue for you I’d try something else. Secondly, it made my face feel very greasy, the finish wasn’t actually bad, but to touch it was super oily. It eventually went away after rubbing my face Show more
