What the gurus are saying

This hybrid sunscreen's soft texture surprises people expecting mineral heaviness, and it applies without the white cast many chemical sunscreens leave behind. The liquid formula rinses easily and feels gentle on sensitive skin, though it reads greasy on bare skin and may not be water resistant, so layering with powder works best. One expert wished for more antioxidants like vitamin C to round out the protection.

"This is the Skin&Lab Ectoin Sunscreen. It's got some good chemical filters and good ingredients, ectoin in there which is great to use during the daytime as a protecting ingredient, plus cholesterol, ceramides, vitamin E, and allantoin. I'd love to see some more antioxidants in here, maybe some peptides or vitamin C derivatives, but we don't have that, it's just meant to be a gentle, sensitive skin friendly sunscreen. It's very liquid, but it feels nice, it doesn't look like it has any tint at all and doesn't leave a white cast like some chemical sunscreens do. It has no scent at all. I do feel like with the liquid texture it could be hard to apply enough liberally. It also seemed to rinse off my hands very easily, so it doesn't seem like it's water resistant. And I will say the sunscreen does look a little bit greasy, if you were just going to wear it without anything on top it does look pretty shiny, so probably the best bet is to set it with powder."

"There's a very new sunscreen out from Skin&Lab that mixes a chemical filter and a mineral filter together, half and half. Oh my god, I love it so much. Nobody here really knows about it, I found out about it because a beauty YouTuber from Korea mentioned it. It's just so soft, if I didn't say anything you'd think it was a regular chemical sunscreen, but it's actually part mineral. If you're really sensitive to chemical sunscreens, try this instead."
