Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Butyloctyl Salicylate is similar to octisalate. It a photostabilizer, SPF booster, emollient and solvent. Its main purpose is to evenly spread out ingredients.

This ingredient is a common sunscreen ingredient carrier and photostabilizer. According to a manufacturer, it is suitable for carrying micro Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, and pigments.

Photostabilizers help stabilize UV-filters and prevents them from degrading quickly.

Due to regulation loopholes, this ingredient is not required to be labeled as an active chemical filter like other UV ingredients. This is why you'll likely find this ingredient in mineral sunscreens from the US.

According to EU regulation, this ingredient can cause harmful effects to aquatic life.

Abrasive, Absorbent

Silica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.

Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.

Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Emollient, Masking

Isopropyl Palmitate is a texture enhancer and emollient. It is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid.

Palmitates are emollients. Emollients help keep your skin soft and smooth by creating a barrier that traps moisture in.

While this sunscreen stick did irritate my skin and cause breakouts on my face, I’ve been absolutely loving using it on my neck!!
The skin on my face is super sensitive and acne prone, prone to fungal acne too and my face doesn’t seem to agree with most chemical uv filters. But my neck is a lot less sensitive and less prone to breakouts so neck is my go-to way of not wasting any products that Show more

I actually bought this back in July but I have to say that it was an awful experience applying this. Even though the applicator shape is similar to the Abib Quick Sunstick the texture is very different. Although this had more of a matte finish it felt rather greasy/grainy on my face. This may be better for those with a drier skin type, but I can't say I'd sign off on this one.
