Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

Product Information

I was excited to try Biossance’s new sunscreen product because it’s a non-nano zinc oxide based formula that’s EWG Verified and cruelty free, and of course it contains sugarcane derived squalane, which is what they’re known for. Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma. It was easy to distribute, went on in a thin layer, and was easier to get off than some other sport type mineral blocks I’ve used (this is what you’d expect, but thought it was worth noting).

Sugarcane-Derived Squalane: Helps sunscreen glide effortlessly onto skin while weightlessly locking in long-lasting moisture. Biossance is a USA brand that delivers youthful, glowing skin with award-winning, anti-aging, vegan skincare products for all skin types. At the core of every formula, it’s a weightless ingredient that’s instantly absorbed into the skin and replenishes the lost moisture around the entire body.Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. Powerfully invisible broad-spectrum, non-toxic SPF 30 zinc mineral sunscreen protects even the most sensitive skin. If you are looking for a clean sunscreen that doesn't pill, leave a noticeable white cast, or make your skin look greasy and shiny, the Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is the way to go!

It supports our skin’s barrier by encouraging other skin care actives to work while moisturising and nourishing 20 times more than your typical oil. I would still opt for a more aggressive, higher SPF formula for sports or extended sun exposure type activities, but for when you just need a little bit of coverage, this is a nice option.

With that in mind, BIOSSANCE'ssqualane is derived from sugarcane and has been created to deliver up to forty times more active ingredients that penetrate deeper than other formulas.

Another advantage of squalane is that it is pretty much compatible with all skin types and skin conditions. Founded in 2016, Biossance’z award-winning line of sugarcane derived squalane-based products are Sephora aisle staples. Hey it’s summer and I’m all about finding the right sunscreens that are effective, good for skin health and comfortable to wear.
