Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Numbuzin No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++ contains this as ingredient number 4.

Renee Rouleau Skin Care Weightless Protection SPF 30 contains this as ingredient number 4.

2
What it does: Humectant, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Loved

Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.

Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.

These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

What it does: Emollient, Emulsifying
Community Rating: Disliked

Glyceryl Stearate is a mix of glycerin and stearic acid.

Glyceryl Stearate 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. The human body also creates Glyceryl Stearate naturally.

What it does: Emulsifying, Emulsion Stabilising, Gel Forming, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Disliked

Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

I have no words. It's perfect.
This is easily the best sunscreen I've ever tried! It even tops my previous holygrail the Skin1004 sunscreen. The last six months I've been looking for my "forever sunscreen" which is the one I'll keep repurchasing instead of having multiple sunscreens so I've been testing a few, didn't think something would top the Skin1004 sunscreen and then... I tried this. I honestly have no words about how much I love this sunscreen - it's just amazing 🥲 (maybe a bit dramatic for a sunscreen lmao 😂 but seriously it's the best). It's incredibly lightweight and is definitely the fastest absorbing sunscreen I've tried, the ingredients are great and as far as I can tell like most chemical sunscreens it doesn't leave a white cast (take this with a grain of salt I'm practically translucent lol). It layers incredibly well under makeup and doesn't pill, doesn't break me out, and isn't massively expensive (I payed £12 for 50ml). I recommend everybody gives this sunscreen a go, I can see it working for a lot of different skin types and climates. It's the only sunscreen I'll ever purchase from now on, the search is over! 😅

Like the other comments, I'm just here to say that this sunscreen is indeed THE BEST!! So lightweight, no white cast, and doesn't make me as oily as other sunscreens I've used! Will forever be repurchasing as long as my skin stays the same.
