Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is an organic compound that provides UVB protection. It often goes by the more common name of octinoxate. It is created from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate absorbs UVB rays with wavelengths between 280-320 nm. UV absorbers protect your skin by using chemical reactions to convert UV rays into heat and energy.
UVB (290-320 nm) rays emit more energy than UVA rays. They are capable of damaging DNA, causing sunburns and are thought to be linked to skin cancer.
The state of Hawaii has banned sunscreens containing octinoxate due to its potential impact on coral reefs. More research is needed to bridge gaps in this research. The European Union allows higher levels of octinoxate in sunscreens than the US and Australia.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate is oil soluble. It is not stable and may lose efficacy when exposed to sunlight.

Ipca Acne-UV Silicone Sunscreen Gel SPF 30 12 ingredients
I have oily, acne-prone skin. This sunscreen felt heavy on my face no matter how little of a layer I applied, and it triggered more breakouts including comedones and active acne. While I did notice a slight reduction in tanning, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

It’s so good. No fragrance. It’s more watery than oily i feel. Takes lil time to absorb. I have dry skin, and I usually skip moisturizer before applying this. Doesn't leave me feeling greasy or oily or anything.
