I don't have any idea what the full ingred list or PPD or % of actives are. I got this in a swap.
This had the whitest cast I've ever seen. All physical DHC White or Fancl Sunguard 30 are less whitening! Somewhat shiny. Never soaked in, and itched somewhat after a few hours. Because it itched, I got to discover that if you touch your face, you can literally move the sunscreen around on your face hours after application, leaving exposed areas of skin.
If anyone has the ingredients of this one, I'd love to have them for my records (especially since I itched from it and am trying to find a commonality between it and the other itch-inducing sunscreens I've experienced.
On a five * scale (5 stars being best):
White Cast *
Shininess **
Stickiness ****
Creaminess/Texture ***
Ease in application ** (hard to apply creamy on creamy that won't soak in)
Film Forming *
UVA protection * (partially because it wipes around, but not expecting much from a SPF 30...this is NOT a Boots * rating)
The main reason I'm giving it ** overall is because it is avobenzone-free and would be a good product for young children above the normal physical-only formulas. I wish I could shed light on the reason for my itching, but it may be a rosacea thing.
I will update if I can get hold of the ingredient list. continued >>
