This oil-free, non-comedogenic face sunscreen lotion won't sting eyes so it is ideal for daily protection. However, if the Face version is appearing less white, then must be the particle size of Zinc Oxide, the Face version may contain same amount of Zinc Oxide with finer(smaller) particle size. The interesting takeaway here is that within the world of non-nano zinc oxide, particle sizes can differ, which may affect the cost of the material itself as well as the cosmetic elegance of a formula and how much of a white cast you end up with.

I would like to try the regular non-face version of Neutrogena’s Sheer Zinc sunscreen so I can see how it compares to Aveeno’s. At the same time, it also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives, such as the nowadays super commonly used phenoxyethanol.

Unfortunately, we’re not quite at a place where zinc-based sunscreens can be completely sheer just yet. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Sunscreen SPF 50 definitely comes in at the top of the rankings out of the ones I’ve tried. Read more about the condition New other (see details): A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear.

This gentle formula delivers superior broad spectrum protection against burning UVB and aging UVA rays. I don’t know if I was biased by the word “face” in the product name, but I did feel like Neutrogena’s face sunscreen was easier to rub into my skin, slightly less chalky, and left less of a white cast compared to the Aveeno product.

If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc ® Dry-Touch Sunscreen has been awarded the NEA Seal of Acceptance, which recognizes products for use by persons with severe sensitive-skin conditions and that have satisfied the NEA Seal of Acceptance criteria.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).

Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you. Plus, it's mild even on sensitive skin, and it's free of fragrance, parabens, phthalates, dyes, and irritating chemicals. Finding a physical sunscreen with no alcohol, no fragrance, no essential oils and with minimal white cast on my tan skin ( read NC 42-44) has been my mission impossible.It has a nice rose-like scent and can be found in several essential oils such as rose, neroli or geranium.

If you read my review of Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, you may remember that that product is very similar to Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50, which also makes it similar to the face version I’m reviewing today. A dispersing agent that's used in inorganic (titanium dioxide/zinc oxide based) sunscreens or in make-up products to help to distribute the pigments nicely and evenly on the skin.
