BG’s main job is usually to be a solvent for the other ingredients. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin. A mainly oil-loving, vegetable raw material based ingredient that helps water and oil to mix together, aka emulsifier. It can also function as a wetting and dispersing agent helping insoluble particles such as color pigments or inorganic sunscreens (zinc/titanium dioxide) to disperse nice and even in liquids. [more] what‑it‑does To take this measurement system one step further, Dr. Ko Lamm points out that Western sunscreens are formulated as a necessity by focusing on the immediate effects of the sun. Korean sunscreens, on the other hand, are part of a lifestyle. They defend your skin from the long-term effects of the sun. Based on the labelling, there is no reason for me not too. Of course, I would be a dumbass if I ignored the Purito Centella scandal. I can’t test the SPF in a lab (because that’s not my day job). But this is my workaround:

This sunscreen has a pH level of 5, meaning it is very unlikely to irritate human skin since it is as close of a pH level to flesh as it possibly could. It can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus it feels nice on the skin too.Regarding Homosalate's safety profile, we do not have the best news. In-vitro (made in the labs) studies have shown that it might have some estrogenic activity. Do not panic, these studies were not conducted on real humans under real world conditions. Still, if you are a 'better safe than sorry' type, be careful when using Homosalate containing sunscreens long-term and full-body.

Thank You Farmer Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF 50+ – Review Thank You Farmer Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF 50+ – Review

An emollient plant oil that contains nourishing fatty acids and antioxidant vitamin E. It's especially rich in α-Linolenic acid (42-49%). You'll see some familiar, editor-beloved ingredients in Thank You Farmer's Sun Project Water Sun Cream, including soothing aloe leaf and hydrating sunflower seed extracts. But this hybrid SPF, which means it contains both mineral and chemical filters (homosalate, octorylene, and titanium dioxide, to be exact), is also derm-approved as well. " Centella asiatica extract and bamboo water are two key ingredients that soothe and hydrate the skin," Eunice Park, MD, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon based in Long Island, NY, and founder of AIREM says, noting that this moisturizing sunscreen is ideal for normal to dry skin types. If you live in the EU, sunscreen regulation requires 1/3 of SPF to protect against UVA radiation. I’d happily assume this is a 1/3 of an SPF 30 product The only UVA filter is DHHB, which is a superior, photostable UVA filter and herein lies the problem. It really is just ONE filter Ever since it was featured in the Allure Beauty Box, senior commerce writer Angela Trakoshis hasn't been able to get enough of the Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Mineral Sunscreen, especially since the nongreasy formula is so divine that it keeps her accountable for SPF application. "It's got zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier that's safe for sensitive skin, and it dries down glowy without leaving a Casper-like cast," she says. "Whether I'm going on my daily walk or sitting by the window with my laptop, I'll never be tempted to skip sunscreen again."

Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is made up of 30 to 50 chemicals on average (but it can have as much as 200 components!). Asides from Centella Asiatica and Sodium Hyaluronate, this sun cream doesn’t have the typical ingredients I usually see in Korean sunscreens. It is formulated with a bunch of plant extracts, including fragrance. They include: WATER, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, HOMOSALATE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYLBENZOATE, OCTOCRYLENE, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, CYCLOMETHICONE, ALCOHOL, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PEG-100 STEARATE, SODIUM ACRYLATE/SODIUMACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, PHENOXYETHANOL, ISOHEXADECANE, ALUMINUM STEARATE, POLYHYDROXYSTEARIC ACID, PROPANEDIOL, OCTYLDODECANOL, FRAGRANCE, XANTHAN GUM, POLYSORBATE 80, BAMBUSA VULGARIS WATER, ALUMINA, ECHIUM PLANTAGINEUM SEED OIL, VISCUM ALBUM (MISTLETOE) LEAF EXTRACT, GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) LIPIDS, CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PORTULACA OLERACEA EXTRACT, An oil-soluble chemical sunscreen agent that protects the skin from UVB (295-315 nm) with a peak protection at 306 nm. Homosalate is not a strong UV filter in and of itself (gives only SPF 4.3 protection at max. allowed 10% concentration) and it is not photostable (looses 10% of its SPF protection in 45 mins) so it alwayshas to be combined with other sunscreens for properprotection.Its big advantage, though, is that it is a liquid and is excellent for dissolving other hard to solubilizepowder sunscreen agents, like the famous Avobenzone. I will be honest with you I can’t see how as the 5th ingredient, DHHB is present in greater than 1.5%. I’d safely put my money on PA++ but not on PA+++. Closing remarks

It can also function as a wetting and dispersing agent helping insoluble particles such as color pigments or inorganic sunscreens (zinc/titanium dioxide) to disperse nice and even in liquids. If you have spottedethylhexylglycerinon the ingredient list, most probably you will see there also the current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. They are good friends becauseethylhexylglycerincan boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus it feels nice on the skin too.
