🌞 This is an SPF50 PA++++ physical sunscreen (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) that claims to be nourishing and moisturizing with a non-sticky texture. It also claims to be hypoallergenic, suitable for babies to adults.
🌞 I opened this as a moisturizing alternate to the mattifying sunscreen I also have open, as I don’t feel like a matte finish all the time.
🌞 This has a thick, white texture that takes a bit of an effort to spread. It goes on with a white cast unless you spread it very very evenly and wait for it to oxidize a bit. True to its claim, it is not sticky but it does sit uncomfortably on the skin while you wait for it to absorb.
🌞 The finish is neutral (I was expecting dewy, given the claims) but doesn’t feel particularly moisturizing; it’s strange because it feels like I’m definitely wearing product and yet my skin feels drier after I apply this sunscreen. I’ve tested this with my skin analysis tool and the numbers tally: I put on my day moisturizer and the tool reads 44; I layer the sunscreen and it goes down to 36. 🤯
🌞 Not sure if it works better for oily skin because of the weighty feel. Grateful to be able to try this, but I think I’ll use the rest of it as body sunscreen instead.
