But that's not the only standout component in the tube. Dobos points out a few other stars on the ingredients list. "These definitely aren't the sexiest ingredient names, but they are pretty great: C9-12 alkane and coco-caprylate," she says. "These both have naturally derived emollients that are being used as a substitute for cyclic silicones." These two make the sunscreen look glowy without feeling oily or greasy.

Non-nano Zinc Oxide SPF’s are also reef safe. REN’s juicy, soothing liquid made all the difference to my parched skin during a brutal winter on the coast

And this year, the options are more expansive than ever. The texture of The Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 is really nice. The Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 Texture As we all know, protecting our skin from those harsh UVA and UVB rays is crucial for maintaining healthy looking skin. Our new Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 not only provides top-notch protection, but it also enhances your natural radiance, leaving you with a dewy, healthy glow. What is SPF and how does it work? SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure of how much UV radiation is required to produce sunburn on SPF protected skin compared to the amount of solar energy required to produce sunburn on unprotected skin. As the SPF value increases, sun damage protection increases, protecting the skin from sun burn and photoaging (aging caused by sun rays, i.e. wrinkles, dark spots, etc). It works by either absorbing UV through chemical or organic UV filters to prevent harmful UVA and UVB rays from burning the skin or by reflecting, and scattering UV rays from physical or inorganic filters such as Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide. Additionally you need to have a combination of UVA and UVB filters to ensure a Broad Spectrum Protection. Ultimately, broad spectrum SPF30 and above is commonly recommended for use by dermatologists globally, for daily (high) protection from the damaging effects of UVA & UVB rays. The key to ensuring you have maximum protection is using a product which is broad spectrum and strictly following the directions of use i.e. apply liberally and often.

Lightweight - There is no doubt that the texture of this sunscreen is lightweight, and it blends beautifully into the skin.

HOW CAN I AVOID WHITE CAST?A great application tip to avoid any white cast would be applying this SPF in few thin layers and waiting in between each one until the product is sunk in and no longer visible. This way it will not leave a white cast and the application will be thin and smooth. We recommend using an oil or balm-based cleanser like Oat Cleansing Balmto help remove SPF in yourPM skincare routine. Dewy base – In my opinion, this product has a semi-dewy finish as opposed to a fully dewy one. I have definitely tried sunscreens that have a dewier finish, so I think this is best if you want subtly glossy skin rather than full-on glow. During our 66 person user trial, 97% of respondents (whom represented a full spectrum of skin shades) agreed it was invisible on their skin tone. From the lightest to deepest of skin shades, respondents agreed our Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 was invisible on their skin tone. What is the true difference between SPF 30 and 50? Various research states that the SPF (sun protection factor) is a number that helps determine roughly how long you can stay in the sun for without burning vs your norm without protection. For example, if your skin would usually burn after 10 minutes of sun exposure, then an SPF 30 estimates protection for 300 minutes and an SPF 50 estimates 500 minutes of protection, however this can differ based on skin sensitivity and the strength of the sun rays.

HOW DO I LAYER THIS UNDER MAKE UP?We recommend to wait 2-3 minutes before applying makeup. This will give the SPF a chance to fully absorb and settle without leaving any white residue. Is this sunscreen mineral or chemical? This sunscreen uses only chemical filters to offer broad spectrum protection from UVA & UVB rays. There are no mineral filters in this product How long should I leave between applying & sun exposure? We would recommend waiting 15 mins between applying the product and sun exposure. This is to let the SPF absorb into the skin for optimal protection. It’s no secret that SPF should be used daily and is imperative to protecting skin from UV rays and hyperpigmentation, along with being the best preventative measure for fine lines and wrinkles. If reapplying over makeup, we would recommend to reapply with a beauty blender and lightly dab all over the face until it's been absorbed, and each area is covered.

Is this suitable for oily skin types whodo notlike a dewy finish? Our PGA Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 has been tested on all skin types, including those with oily skin. This product leaves the skin with a natural, hydrated, dewy finish. Additionally, down one side of The Inkey List’s tube is a perforated edge, which when gently pulled apart, folds out, with an entire panel explaining what mineral sunscreen is on the inner, alongside what it can be paired with, such as hyaluronic acid if you need hydration, or bakuchiol for anti-ageing properties, as it’s a natural alternative to retinol.But before we all drift into a marketeer’s reverie, it is worth noting that although polyglutamic acid is safe, it is not – unlike hyaluronic acid – a substance already naturally present in the body. Independent – which means non-commercial – trials of its benefits are minuscule in quantity compared with those on very established humectants such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid. WHAT IS A MINERAL SUNSCREEN?There are only two ingredients that are classified as mineral sunscreens, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Zinc Oxide provides broad spectrum protection. Is it suitable for eczema/rosacea? Technically from a formula perspective yes, but we always recommend a patch test for anyone with a skin concern.
