Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer (let's call it AAVC for short) is a synthetically created polymer. It's used as a film-forming agent and used to thicken the consistency of products.
AAVC is able to increase the consistency and viscosity of products due to its large molecule size. It also prevents ingredients from separating.
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.

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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterXanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.
On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.
Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

The formulation i got does not have salt in it, and its perfect. With it though, i wouldnt get it. I don't want to triggar any more acne than i have.
BEST facial sunscreen i have used, my skin is easily irritated and clog prone and after using a whole tube of this and starting a new one i can definitely say it works soo well for me, it hasn’t caused any negative affects and doesn’t flare up my perioral dermatitis!

I have a love-hate relationship with this one. Its too thick and silicone-y for me but it works and doesn't break me out. Also dries matte which is nice. But like I said, sometimes I hate it and sometimes I like it.
SO glad I finally found a mineral spf that uses only non nano zinc oxide (no chemical filters or spf ‘boosters’), is tinted and doesn’t clog my pores. Wish it didn’t have PEGs but other than that it’s a pretty clean formula and I like how it feels on my skin. The texture feels light enough to blend in well but thick enough to feel like it’s protecting my skin properly. Love it!
