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 WaterSilica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.
Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

This has become a favorite of mine. I love it for the face because it gives a natural demi-matte finish on my combo skin. The texture is like a thick gel but it spreads easily on the skin. It’s lightweight, doesn’t sting, has no whitecast, and doesn’t make me look greasy throughout the day. There’s no pilling and performs well under makeup. It’s a bit shiny when freshly applied but dries down after a few minutes.
The only con would be the packaging. It’s a flip-top lid and the bottle is quite stiff, so it’s a bit difficult to measure 2 fingers-worth of product. The opening is also bigger than other sunscreens I’ve tried so a lot comes out at once.
Other than that, this is a fave and a recommendation from me. 💗

Gel SPF that does not spread very well, so you have to put more to feel like you covered the skin you wanted to cover. It is cheap though
