Product Information

Are you into sunscreen agents? We have shiny explanations(along with product lists) about others as well: Aqua, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (broad spectrum UV absorber), Niacinamide (vitamin b3), Coco-Caprylate (coconut-derived solvent), Butyloctyl Salicylate (skin-conditioning agent), Glyceryl Stearate (vegetable emulsifier), Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate (emulsifier), Microcrystalline Cellulose (emulsion stabiliser), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (stabilised vitamin c), Lactic Acid (alpha-hydroxy acid), Cetyl Alcohol (naturally derived non-drying coconut fatty acid), Tocopherol (natural vitamin E), Glycerin (humectant), Sodium Anisate (preservative derived from aniseed), Sodium Levulinate (preservative derived from sugar cane), Glyceryl Caprylate (emollient), 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (stabilised vitamin c), Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate (natural emulsifier), Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Extract, Gellan Gum (rheology modifier), Sodium Phytate (natural chelator), Xanthan Gum (rheology modifier). It's easily the most medical-looking product in this list and isn't marketed as a moisturiser, but rather a "daily moisturising, brightening and anti-pollution defence fluid" that can take the place of your regular moisturiser in your day-to-day skincare regimen. Skin damage can still happen on a cloudy day, and SPF (sun protection factor) products defend the skin against the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from FaceTheory as of 12/27/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean. Pregnancy and Nursing Safe Products from FaceTheory However, for a Vitamin C derivative to workit's not enough just to be stable, they also have to be absorbed into the skin and be converted there to pure Vitamin C. We have good news regarding the absorption: on top of manufacturer claims, there is somedata (animal study) demonstrating in can get into the skin, and it seems to be better at it than Ascorbyl Glucoside, another vitamin C derivative.

Not Safe for Pregnancy, Ok for Nursing

I personally wouldn’t use this as my sole-sunscreen. I’m a little bit funny when it comes to moisturisers with SPF protection it in – I like to ensure I’m adequately protected and I’m not sure whether I would apply enough of this to get that protection. I opt to layer a sunscreen on top just to be on the safe side. I’d maybe wear this without a separate sunscreen if I’m out in the evening and the UV index is lower. When it comes to using this sunscreen under makeup, two out of two reviewers report that the product does not pill under makeup. niacinamide and dual-action vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate and ethyl ascorbic acid) help to balance skin tone, reduce redness and minimise pore size. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate fights acne-causing bacteria, helping to prevent breakouts and sore, irritated skin. FaceTheory Amil C-Whip SPF30 is a bit of a multitasker. First and foremost its a moisturiser with SPF 30 protection, but it also houses a bunch of active ingredients that all do different things to give you the gorgeous, glowy skin we all desire.

It's a mineral sunscreen, which can often be better suited for people with sensitive skin who find that chemical sunscreens cause irritation, as it uses titanium dioxide for a "physical" sun barrier rather than a chemical component. With SPF 30, this moisturiser claims to offer 24 hours of hydration, making skin feel and appear softer.Not only does a moisturiser bolstered with SPF offer protection against the sun, but it also acts as a shield against premature ageing and wrinkles.

Formulated without any artificial carbomers, our SPF30+ is slightly heavier than the Amil-C Whip M5 SPF20 but keeps that velvety texture that melts into your skin. This unique Vitamin C SPF will leave your face feeling soft and hydrated and without any chalkiness or streaks. It has an unctuous texture that we can only describe as heavenly, and it doesn't take long to absorb, which is extremely useful in hot weather. It's also great for use in cold weather thanks to the inclusion of Antarcticine, a glycoprotein known for its extreme resistance to cold conditions. Amil-C Whip M5 SPF 30+ is our whipped mousse moisturiser that refines and brightens your skin while protecting it against UV damage – now with a higher SPF. This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 5.30% - 7.90% and butyloctyl salicylate 2.00% - 3.00%. Irritation riskOf all the products we tested, our standout favourite was the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream SPF 30, which doesn't come as much of a surprise — we were already big fans of the non-SPF version, and the addition of SPF is only an improvement. It feels really hydrating and is different to a traditional sunscreen that just sits on top of your skin. Suitable for combination and dryer skin types, this serum sunscreen is perfect for a summery glow.

It has a bit of a thinner consistency than other creams in this list meaning it's tempting to use a bit more of it to feel covered, and the squeezy dispenser can get a bit messy after repeated use, but if you want to be sure your face is getting the protection it needs, you can't go wrong with this. And if you're looking for something with the best sun protection possible, you can't do much better than the Ultrasun Facial Fluid.

Tris-Biphenyl Triazine, aka Tinosorb A2B, the newest addition to the Tinosorb family that protects strongly in an in-between wavelength that most other filters miss Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing.
