Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

Here's what our community thinks
Kopari Bright As Day Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 36 ingredients
Pros: nice tone for my skin (slightly peach/ yellow colour), blends in very well and leaves slight glow, has niacinamide and astaxanthin.
Cons: feels slightly gritty when applying (feels smooth after rubbing), has slightly glittery finish, contains chemical spf booster so wrongly marketed at 100% mineral, has silicone.
Overall a great option if I want some extra coverage or even out my skin Show more
