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.
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!

Aveeno Positively Mineral Sensitive Skin Sunscreen - SPF 50 contains this as ingredient number 2.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Halloween Makeup
If you need to give your skin a pallor look, this sunscreen is great! If you want it for any other reason, look elsewhere. The white cast on this sunscreen is so intense I ended up using this on halloween to make me look sickly (yes I’m serious). I’m already naturally very pale so I thought maybe I could pull off this 100% mineral sunscreen BUT NOPE.
I can not feasibly see any way for someone to be using enough of this sunscreen for adequate protection and not have an insane white cast. I suppose if you spend several minutes rubbing at this you might be able to diminish some of the cast, but at that point what’s the point of wearing sunscreen? If you’ve rubbed in a sunscreen that much then it’s not going to give you the protection you need either. I can’t recommend this product to anyone.

Pretty bad whitecast, and takes awhile to rub in, but works well and has a scent very similar to citronella to keep bugs off. Good for outdoor work.
