Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Dimethicone is a type of synthetic silicone created from natural materials such as quartz.
What it does:
Dimethicone comes in different viscosities:
Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.
Learn more about DimethiconeCyclopentasiloxane, or D5, is a silicone used to improve texture of products and trap moisture.
D5 is considered lightweight and volatile. Volatile means it evaporates quickly after application. Once evaporated, D5 leaves a thin barrier that helps keep skin hydrated.
It is also an emollient. Emollients help soften the skin and prevent water loss. Silicones create a silky texture in products. D5 helps other ingredients become more spreadable.
Studies show D5 is safe to use in skincare products. We recommend speaking with a skincare professional if you have concerns.

No reaction on my super sensitive eczema prone skin. I’ve used about half a tube now. So far it’s my favorite sunscreen I’ve ever used. I personally cannot stand strong sunscreen smells, fragrances, or stickiness.
This sunscreen does have a faint scent and has a dryer texture.
Definitely oil controlling, but only until you need to apply it again. If you don’t wait long enough to apply it after moisturizer or before makeup it will pill so I usually give it 5 minutes. The tint the sunscreen has is kind of strong and leaves a cast so you have to apply this in layers. Also it does attach to your dry spots.. Because this is the only mattifying sunscreen I can count on I keep Show more
