Rave!
I bought this at sephora, but hopefully EDS will carry it soon. I should warn that I have not tried any of the other built in brush powder sunscreens, but I have read reviews so I will try and address that issues people had with colorscience, ISC versions, etc.
First of all, I know a lot of people have coplained about packaging on these sort of things. I found this one very easy to use. The brush is quite soft, the powder flows easily, and there is a handy little slider to make the cap go back on without damaging the brush.
The powder itself is very fine, off white, and did not show up on my skin. I had to run my fingers over my skin to make sure it was dispensing, even though I could see the powder on the brush. I didn't get any kind of cakey look or white cast (but I'm fair). It also did a great job keeping my skin relatively matte.
One concern I had is that sometimes the powder poofs out in a little dust cloud and I imagine I did inhale some of it.
I used it today not as my primary sunscreen, but instead of reapplying my jan marini ss. I really enjoyed not having to reapply a cream, since my skin gets pretty sweaty and sticky on hot days and I'm acne prone. It was great to just dust it on. I know it doesn't have the greatest UVA protection since it's a physical block only, but considering I was lying out in the sun all day, you should know I'm mainly just avoiding freckling, I'm not one of the people that wears ss indoors and whatnot.
Anyways, ingredients:
titanium dioxide 15%
Zinc Oxide 10%
other: mica, silica, corn starch, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e), ascorbic acid (vitamin c), retinyl palmitate (vitamin a), willow bark extract, iron oxides. |
