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.

However, I did find this to be very moisturizing, but didn't leave a dewy finish as much as I was hoping to. There was minimal white cast, but honestly Show more
Love it
Started using this product recently as chemical sunscreens were stinging my eyes.
Overall, it's pretty great. No eye stinging and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It does leave a white cast however.
It's a bit pricy, so I might look into cheaper alternatives going forward.

I really like the texture of this SPF and the finish makes my pores look much less noticeable. This one is a bit drier than the AM moisturizing version (which I prefer). I do like that it's more tinted than the AM moisturizing version, but the tint is too orange for me and they don't make other colors. I haven't had great success using it as a primer. I have a dedicated primer that I prefer. So I Show more
