Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

Product Information

There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. In cosmetics it's quite the multi-tasker: it's an emollient and water-binding ingredient but it's also an emulsifier and can be used for stabilization purposes. If you are looking for a clean sunscreen that doesn't pill, leave a noticeable white cast, or make your skin look greasy and shiny, the Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is the way to go! c. puts it in his awesome blog post, squalane's main things are " emolliency , surface occlusion, and TEWL prevention all with extreme cosmetic elegance". Zinc Oxide 14%, Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methyl Dihydroabietate, Sorbitan Olivate, Coco-Glucoside, Cetyl Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Acacia Senegal Gum, Ethyl Ferulate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Lecithin, Sodium Palmitoyl Proline, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Isostearic Acid.

To me it looked like it highlighted all over indiscriminately, and that seemed to somehow magnify my pores and make my flaws stand out. A physical/inorganic sunscreen with the broadest spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection available today.

However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial. In other words, it's a superb moisturizer that makes your skin nice and smooth, without being heavy or greasy.

Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations.It’s also got refreshing Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, or water lily, that Biossance claims to cool down the skin. Okay, SPF 30 is not very much SPF, but there is no indication that the product doesn’t live up to this rating.

However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. Firstly, BIOSSANCE's squalane is powered by sugarcane that is only watered by natural rainfall – to reduce water waste.It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10). Does anyone have good suggestions for alternatives to the Biossance Squalene + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen?
