Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

We don't have a description for Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer yet.
This ingredient comes as a powder made up of small, porous, microbeads. It is used to add a silky feel to products and also helps absorb oil.
Dicaprylyl Carbonate comes from carbonic acid and caprylyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol. It is an emollient and gives skin a velvet feel. The sources of Dicaprylyl Carbonate may be synthetic or from animals.
As an emollient, Dicaprylyl Carbonate creates a film on the skin. This film traps moisture in, keeping your skin soft and hydrated.
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!

Smells nice, but it's very irritating to the eyes.
This is the only sunscreen so far that doesn't break me out. I also love the matte, powdery finish it leaves on my skin. Easy to reapply too. I also like the scent, doesn't linger too much though so it's perfect.
