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 WaterTocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.
Learn more about TocopherolEthylhexylglycerin (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.
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.

for sensitive skin but not for me??
Recommended by a friend after struggling to find a "gentle" cleanser that didn't break me out or burn like crazy. Fine first few washes once daily, 3rd day in the once peaceful heavy, creamy texture started to sting my face. Broke out with red bumps and acne that week. Thought I'd finally found the one... but it seems continual use of this doesn't agree

I came across this product recently after realizing that my skin type changed from dry to oily, which was why my go-to sunscreen was BGS for a long while. I started noticing that it would have my skin feeling/looking more greasy after the 2-hour mark. That is not the case for this Round Lab sunscreen. I absolutely cannot get over how well this product controlled my oily skin/sebum! Aside from Show more
This reef-safe chemical sunscreen is my favorite for summer use. It leaves a silky and soft finish, feeling very light on the skin. It even seems to reduce sweating. The application is simple and quick; the product spreads with ease and absorbs within a couple of minutes. There's no pilling, no residue, and reapplication is hassle-free. While it's not hydrating enough for winter use on my dry Show more
