What the gurus are saying

This mist caused significant eye irritation and dryness for dermatologists who tested it, and the fragrance plus bergamot oil pose real concerns for anyone with sensitive skin or spending time in the sun. The alcohol as a lead ingredient and phototoxic risk from bergamot mean it's worth patch testing first, and even then, spraying into your hands and rubbing it in is safer than misting directly onto your face.

"It's a chemical sunscreen with alcohol as a first ingredient, and it also has bergamot in it. Bergamot can contain an ingredient called furocoumarins, and those furocoumarins can cause something called phytophotodermatitis, which is basically a phototoxic reaction that occurs when the sun comes in contact with it. So if you're going out in the sun and this is an ingredient that could potentially cause a phototoxic reaction, I would always be very, very cautious with that."

"I only bought the SPF 50 face mist. [...] This is another one that caused me tremendous irritation to my eyes, not just the watery eye thing but it actively dried out the skin around my eyes. Now part of the appeal of a face mist like this is that it's going to be something that you use throughout the day to touch up your sunscreen, probably like over your makeup or whatever, that's why a lot of people like mist sprays."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
