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.

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

Here's what our community thinks
Skinmade Super Vitamins Broad-Spectrum + Blue Light Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ 54 ingredients
Skin type: Combination-oily skin that’s comedone-prone.
This sunscreen is quite thick and fairly difficult to spread — you need to apply it in small layers so it won’t be patchy. Super matte in texture, making it ideal for oily skin or sweaty peeps!
Coverage is light-medium, not really buildable imo. Only 1 shade which is pretty light. I have medium-olive skin so it definitely toned up my skin Show more

nice whipped texture, tiny white cast, dewy finish, slight irritation and redness, but doesn't get any worse it still works okay even when having a rosacea flare-up and very sensitive skin
