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 WaterC12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is made up of Benzoic Acid and long chain alcohols. It has a low molecular weight.
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is an emollient and texture enhancer. Due to its solubility, it is often used in sunscreens to help evenly distribute active ingredients.
As an emollient, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate helps soften and hydrate your skin. Emollients create a film on your skin that traps moisture within.
This ingredient has been reported to cause eye irritation.
Learn more about C12-15 Alkyl BenzoateEthylhexylglycerin (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.
Butylene 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.

Neutrogena Clear Face Break-Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 35 ingredients
This sunscreen has a worthy goal, however, it does create white cast, especially upon reapplying for those with Fitzpatrick skin type VI (FSP). I found it useful for one application, but not for continuous use throughout the day.
Nice water-resistant sunscreen that doesn’t break me out. Non-greasy and doesn’t make my face feel sticky.
ma:nyo Galactomy Sun Serum SPF 50+ PA++++ 34 ingredients
This is my all time favorite sunscreen with absolutely no flaws, but ma:nyo decided to reformulate this masterpiece, change the name and add alcohol, get rid of the added collagen and centella and made it absolutely worse. It blended perfectly into the skin, had no fragrance or sunscreen smell, left a dewy yet not greasy and you could put tons of layers of this sunscreen on ur face and it wouldn't Show more
Amazing SPF serum
This Korean chemical PA++++ 50+ SPF serum is amazing. It has no harmful ingredients, it’s extremely lightweight (almost like water), it’s not greasy whatsoever, it doesn’t leave a white cast, it’s not waterproof but it doesn’t sting the eyes and it’s so cheap! ✨🤯☀️🔬🪔💰🇰🇷
