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: Our intro did get pretty big after all (sorry for that), so let's get to the point finally: sunflower oil - similar to other plant oils - is a great emollient that makes the skin smooth and nice and helps to keep it hydrated. It also protects the surface of the skin and enhances the damaged or irritated skin barrier. Leslie Bauman notes in Cosmetic Dermatology that one application of sunflower oil significantly speeds up the recovery of the skin barrier within an hour and sustains the results 5 hours after using it. People with oily-prone skin, meet Cosrx's Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen SPF 50+, which is formulated with silica and cotton extract to keep excess sebum under control, so you don't end up with a greasy T-zone by lunch. For a dose of moisture (because, yes, oily skin needs it), you can count on antioxidant vitamin E and cocoa extract to keep skin feeling soft and nourished. Personally, for me the reluctance comes from the consistency of the sunscreen. This is the fluid like consistency of Thank You Farmer A 100% plant derived, natural (Ecocert approved) multi-functional ingredient that has emollient and moisturizing properties, can work as a co-emulsifier (meaning that next to other emulsifiers it can help water and oil to mix) and even more importantly has a strong antimicrobial activity.

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 Portulaca Oleracea is anice succulent with bright yellow flowers and edible nutritious vegetables. It's a famousplant in Korean traditional medicine to treat infection andirritated skin. A handy multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel and also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives. 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

From my personal experience of reviewing hundreds and hundreds of American, European and Indian sunscreens that take ages to blend in, unless a product doesn’t have new style filters, I am c ompletely expecting it to be difficult to blend in. You’ll then understand why my brain can’t adjust to this lighter, emulsion because the solubility of the filters shouldn’t change. I have the same issue with Forest Essentials sun fluid SPF 50. An oil-soluble chemical sunscreen agent that protects skin in the UVB and somewhat in the UVA II range with a peak absorption of 304 nm. Its protection is not strong enough on its own but it is quite photostable (loses 10% of SPF protection in 95 mins) and is often used to stabilize other photo-unstable UV-filters, for example, Avobenzone. It is also often used to improve the water resistance of the products. You don't have permission to access "http://www.sephora.co.uk/brands/thank-you-farmer" on this server.

(The harmful chemicals that I look for are BHT, parabens, formaldehyde releasing preservatives and Oxybenzone. 3) What UVA and UVB sunscreen filters are present? 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.
