Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Emulsion Stabilising

We don't have a description for Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate yet.

Masking, Skin Conditioning

This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Best face sunscreen I have found so far. It is super light, like VERY light, with a gel consistency that is easy to spread compared to other sunscreens. Doesn't break me out, absorbs instantly, and most importantly, the fact I can barely feel it from the moment I put it on makes it the most comfortable sunscreen I've tried so far.

It definitely has a glue scent, a bit stronger than I'm used to Show more

It is a great sunscreen. It hydrates and brightens my skin. The only problem is I can’t use it when I have fungal acne because it makes it worse. But when my skin is healthy it can be a great choice.
