Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Sun Bum Mineral - SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 2.

Supergoop! Every Day Sunscreen SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 4.

2
What it does: Antioxidant, Masking, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Liked

Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.

Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.

You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.

There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

What it does: Emollient, Emulsifying, Emulsion Stabilising, Masking
Community Rating: Very Disliked

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. Fatty Alcohols are most often used as an emollient or to thicken a product.

Cetyl Alcohol is not related to SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or ethyl alcohol. The FDA allows products labeled "alcohol-free" to have fatty alcohols.

Sun Bum Mineral - SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 18.

Supergoop! Every Day Sunscreen SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 12.

What it does: Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Mixed

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.

Sun Bum Mineral - SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 26.

Supergoop! Every Day Sunscreen SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 25.

5
What it does: Buffering, Masking
Community Rating: Disliked

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and look more even.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the unseen sunscreen definitely would recommend! They’re about the same price but you get much more sunscreen and better protection! This takes some rubbing in but with proper application this will also not leave a white cast! Also in my experience this leaves a perfectly matte finish!

GET IT!!
I use this sunscreen everyday. I mean everyday. No white cast. Once you put it on it is super sticky and moisturizing, however the stickiness goes in like 1 minute and your left with a hint of a glow.

After hearing so much about it, I got this sunscreen and got it at an okay price. I've been using it since late spring of 2022 and it's served me well. It gives the skin a nice dewy, glow and hasn't broken me out. The major problem I have with this sunscreen is that it is incredibly greasy on the skin. If you lay your head down on any surface or you touch your face it will leave a grease mark. It also doesn't help that the oil separates in the tube, nothing a good shake wouldn't fix, but it is a little annoying.
Essentially- Do I like this? Yeah, I'll finish the bottle. Would I buy this again? No, only if was marked down. Do I think you can get a better/cheaper sunscreen somewhere else? Yes.
