Ingredients Explained

  1. 01These ingredients are found in both products.
  2. 02Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
  3. 03Polybutene is used to help control the viscosity of a product. This just means it helps adjusts the texture.
  4. 04It is a polymer and does not get absorbed into the skin due to its large size.
  5. 05Studies found this ingredient did not irritate skin in concentrations below 15%.
  6. 06Tocopherol is a fat-soluble antioxidant known as Vitamin E.
  7. 07You'll find this ingredient in the vast majority of skincare (for good reason). It works to neutralize free radicals, or unstable molecules generated by UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors, before they can cause oxidative damag…
  8. 08Topically applied tocopherol has been shown to protect against UV damage by ramping up the skin's own natural defense enzymes.
  9. 09It also acts as a skin conditioning agent; some studies show that regular topical use can improve the skin's water-binding capacity over 2-4 weeks.
  10. 10This ingredient is especially loved for being a team player. When combined with Vitamin C, the photoprotective effect of both ingredients roughly doubles and the combo also helps reduce UV-induced DNA damage.
  11. 11This ingredient has some brightening potential but it's more of a prevention ingredient than spot-fader. Cell studies show it can slow down melanin production but it's worth noting that it's not the most powerful brightener out there.
  12. 12In formulations, it also serves as a stabilizer that helps protect other oxidation-prone ingredients from degrading.
  13. 13Concentrations usually range from 0.1-1% in most leave-on products.
  14. 14This ingredient is a combination of red, black, and yellow iron oxide pigments. This combination of colors is usually found in foundation, because it results in a "skin" color.
  15. 15The EU typically uses CI numbers for colorants when applicable, such as CI 77489. In the US, iron oxides are regulated as color additives and "iron oxides" is the most commonly used name in US cosmetic practice.
  16. 16A 2021 paper looked at skincare formulations containing iron oxides and found that they reduced transmission of blue light when measured optically. In simple terms, the pigment particles helped block or scatter part of the visible light spectrum in …
  17. 17There is also clinical and experimental research showing that tinted products containing iron oxides can reduce visible light-induced pigmentation:
  18. 18Please note, whether a product reduces visible or blue light depends on things like:
  19. 19In the EU's CosIng database, iron oxides are only listed as a colorant. CosIng groups ingredients by their main cosmetic role, such as colorant, preservative, or UV filter.
  20. 20Though studies say iron oxides can "attenuate blue light", they're describing an optical property and not an officially recognized cosmetic function.
