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.

- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.

- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Ethylhexylglycerin (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.
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.

ABSOLUTE HOLY GRAIL
FADED MY REDNESS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY 😭😭🤍🤍🤍
I find that this applies beautifully if I wait at least 30 minutes after moisturizer to apply (so I do it right before my dog's first walk). Otherwise, it's a bit too sticky and tacky, and the white cast doesn't go away.
It works pretty well, but the SPF and texture payoff isn't better than the Hyalu-Cica one, so I think I'm gonna stick with that. Still, this isn't a bad sunscreen if there's Show more
