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 WaterButylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Glyceryl Stearate is a mix of glycerin and stearic acid.
It is used to stabilize the mixing of water and oil ingredients. By preventing these ingredients from separating, it can help elongate shelf life. It can also help thicken the product's texture.
As an emollient, it helps soften skin and supports barrier-replenishing ingredients.
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Stearate is often made from vegetable oils or synthetically produced.
This ingredient may not be fungal-acne safe
Fun fact: The human body also creates Glyceryl Stearate naturally.

PURITO Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ 35 ingredients
only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out. its truly non comedogenic (according to acne clinic nyc). i have combo skin due to barrier damage and i wear this without moisturizer. doesn’t make oily or dry me out but i can’t say it’s extremely hydrating on its own. it’s also nice under makeup if it’s the only base. it can take a while to dry and can be sticky until fully dry but that’s the only Show more
Pros: Lightweight. No white cast. No smell. Decent ingredients. Doesn’t seem to break me out or trigger my rosacea flushes. Reef-safe.
Cons: Somewhat of an oily/greasy finish. Often pills. Occasionally feels a bit irritating to my skin (but only very slightly). I also don’t like that the bottle says it lasts up to 10 hours which feels like false advertising because there’s no way that can be Show more
