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.

sweet glowy chemical sunscreen with no white cast. i wore it through the summer after skincare without bothering with moisturiser, but when the temp turned a little bit cooler i had to add one. i'm sensitive to niacinamide, otherwise i would have maybe preferred the texture of fave fluid, not even the texture but the idea of skincare based sunscreen, but cannot handle niacinamide on my face everyday or my ace becomes an angry tomato.
but i love this sunscreen. it is very smooth, unlike this review.

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.

Great for sensitive skin
It doesn't irritate and it isn't oily.
My skin looks noticeably less blotchy by the end of the day.
Highly recommend
