Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

Product Information

If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules ( glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. Paving the path for clean beauty, BIOSSANCE dreams up planet-positive skin care that is kind to both you and the environment.

After spending several years working at brands like Prevention, Woman's Day, and Business Insider in New York City, Nicol decided to leave the city life behind for island living. We are worried that "Biossance - Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen" might not be able to provide reliable sun protection because it uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively weak concentration. It was easy to distribute, went on in a thin layer, and was easier to get off than some other sport type mineral blocks I’ve used (this is what you’d expect, but thought it was worth noting). What Else You Need to Know: This powerful, invisible, broad-spectrum, mineral SPF 30 PA +++ protects all skin tones like you’ve never seen—literally. This guide puts together all of the things I wish I knew about reading labels, to help you understand and embrace your skin care routine.I was excited to try Biossance’s new sunscreen product because it’s a non-nano zinc oxide based formula that’s EWG Verified and cruelty free, and of course it contains sugarcane derived squalane, which is what they’re known for. At the core of every formula, it’s a weightless ingredient that’s instantly absorbed into the skin and replenishes the lost moisture around the entire body. So while I’m normally a fan of a dewy finish, I’m not sure I love a translucent dewy finish without any coverage.

The hydrating sunscreen is packed with sugarcane-derived squalane for extra moisturization, and zinc oxide that keeps the skin's outer barrier safe from damaging UVA and UVB rays, according to the brand. One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). As a fellow of the Association of Health Care Journalists' 2018 class, Nicol is most passionate about covering health and wellness, although her work has spanned many verticals including lifestyle, beauty, fashion, business, and more. Especially if it’s anything like the Squalane + Zinc sheer mineral suncream from Biossance, that is. When I’m not working as a digital marketing manager and being a devoted dog mom to my goldendoodle, I love connecting with you all here at Organic Beauty Lover.

This is what I wish I would’ve learned 5 years ago, because I’ve spent so much time and money on the wrong products for my face. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

Along with the zinc oxide and squalane, the formula features water lily which calms and cools my entire complexion. It supports our skin’s barrier by encouraging other skin care actives to work while moisturising and nourishing 20 times more than your typical oil. If you find your skin doesn't like these simple alcohols, then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the Alcohol-Free icon.

I know reactions happen but most of these reviews are coming from people who were using it previously with no issues and suddenly had a severe reaction to it. After years of ignoring its gross texture and just applying sunscreen anyway to stay protected, I finally found an SPF option that I not only enjoy wearing, but that also has improved my skin texture, too.
