I like the sound of this one, including the ingredients. Does anyone know what the active (sunscreen) ingredients are? I can't find any reviews, I guess it's new Here's the EDS blurb:
A safe and beautiful sun-kissed glow! Immediately enhance the look of your skin while minimizing premature aging and offer a physical barrier against UVA/UVB rays and free radical damage. This revolutionary sunscreen self-adjusts to the color of your own skin tone, enhancing your complexion and offering smooth, flawless coverage while offering a rich blend of anti-inflammatories and antioxidant protection. You’ll be amazed with this sunscreens lightweight feel and powerful antioxidant protection.
- Harvested from the rainforests of Brazil, rich and powerful Acai tastes and feels like a blend of berries and chocolate. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acid containing 10x more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30x more than the anthocyanins of red wine.
- Medicinal Galanga not only enhances this sunscreens SPF score but also helps fight acne for a clear complexion
- Natural Aloe not only provide s rich hydration but offers immediate refreshment for sun damaged skin
- Niacin helps increase hydration and reduces water loss while stimulating circulation for speedier skin healing
It's also relatively inexpensive. What the heck is Galanga? |

I think it's hard to tell what the SS ingredients are without a complete ingredient list. 
Galangal here you go.
The Galangal plant (Galanga, Blue Ginger) is a rhizome with culinary and medicinal uses. (Lao: ຂ່າ "Kha"; Thai: ข่า "Kha"; Malay: lengkuas (Alpinia galangal); Traditional Mandarin: 南薑 or 高良薑; Simplified Mandarin: 南姜 or 高良姜; Cantonese: lam keong, 藍薑; Vietnamese: Riềng).
It is used in various Asian cuisines (for example in Thai cuisine Tom Yum soups and Tom Kha Gai, Vietnamese Huenian cuisine (Tre) and throughout Indonesian cuisine, for example, in Soto). Though it is related to and resembles ginger, there is little similarity in taste.
In its raw form, galangal has a citrusy, piney, earthy aroma, with hints of cedar and soap (saponins) in the flavor; its flavor is a complement to its relative ginger, but galangal has little of the peppery heat that raw ginger has. It is available as a whole root, cut or powdered. The whole fresh root is very hard, and slicing it requires a sharp knife. A mixture of galangal and lime juice is used as a tonic in parts of Southeast Asia. It is said[by whom?] to have the effect of an aphrodisiac, and acts as a stimulant.[citation needed] In the Indonesian language, greater galangal is called lengkuas or
laos and lesser galangal is called kencur. It
is also known as galanggal, and somewhat
confusingly galingale, which is also the name
for several plants of the unrelated Cyperus
genus of sedges (also with aromatic rhizomes).
In Thai language, greater galangal is called "ข่า"
(Kha) or "ข่าใหญ่" (Kha yai), while lesser
galangal is called "ข่าตาแดง" (Kha ta daeng).

The word galangal, or its variant galanga is used as a common name for all members of the genus Alpinia, and in common usage can refer to four plants, all in the Zingiberaceae (ginger family): |

It's SPF 30. Sounds like a good daily sunscreen. At $39, I may try it...it's only 1.7 oz. though |
