Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.
Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide may be harmful to coral reefs - though the verdict is not entirely out on this one.
Zinc Oxide also has antibacterial and calming properties. It is not water soluble.
Zinc has been used throughout history as an ingredient in paint and medicine. An Indian text from 500BC is believed to list zinc oxide as a salve for open wound. The Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides has also mentioned the use of zinc as an ointment in 1AD.

One study found using Tocopheryl Acetate with Vitamin C decreased the number of sunburned cells.
Tocopheryl Acetate is commonly found in both skincare and dietary supplements.

Seaweed Bath Co. Active Defense SPF 50 Sport Hybrid Sunscreen 30 ingredients
Strong sugary smell. Lightweight, sticky, no whitecast. Has extra skin benefits compared to others, but not reef safe.

Primer Plus
I love that this is a primer PLUS sunscreen. My experience has been that it works well as both. It produces a nice smooth finish and seems to calm my reddish rosacea skin. I am comfortable just going as-is and skipping foundation with this on my face. I'm always a fan of multi-tasking products and this one fits the bill. Next time I may try the tinted version.
