Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.
It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.
A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Reviews
Here's what our community thinks
Mary & May Cica Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ 42 ingredients
It's light and has no white cast. It didn't broke me out and it's okey to use it around my eyes too. I have sensitive acne prone skin type.
I like the ingredients and the slight scent isn't overwhelming. It feels like a moisturizer so I like using this a lot. However, my skin can get sensitive so it stings on some days and makes my eyes water a little. I liked it but don't think I'll repurchase for these reasons.
