For example, one review says, “I had a bad reaction to this. I have combination skin, can be sensitive at times. I loved the way it felt on my skin at first. But after I stepped out in the sun my face turned so bad around my mouth and under my right eye. Had rashes.”

Biossance is a beauty brand known for their use of sugarcane-derived squalane throughout their entire collection of skin care products, and their 100% non-nano, non-toxic mineral sunscreen is no exception. A strong, intact barrier is important to keep moisture in and keep things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants out. When the barrier is weakened, these intruders can pass through the top layer of skin, causing damage that ultimately leads to common skin conditions such as acne, rashes, sensitive skin, and even signs of aging. Physical sunscreens tend to be tolerated well by most skin types because they are not absorbed into the skin. Thus, they are especially useful for those with heat sensitive skin (i.e. rosacea patients) as well as those with acne-prone skin as they are typically less pore-clogging. One unique ingredient in the Biossance Sunscreen is water lily extract, which contains tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and polysaccharides. These components provide a strong nourishing, moisturizing, and regenerating effect on the skin, which helps to cool and calm skin after UV exposure and heat stress. How to Use Biossance Sunscreen?

Yes. Mineral (a.k.a. physical) sunscreen sits on top of the skin’s surface to create a protective, reflective barrier against UV rays, like tiny mirrors. Unlike chemical sunscreen, it doesn’t degrade or lose efficacy when exposed to the sun. Chemical sunscreen acts more like a sponge, absorbing UV rays, converting them into heat and then releasing the heat from the skin. Chemical sunscreen ingredients can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin. Now that you know that Biossance Sunscreen doesn’t contain any chemicals that are harmful to your health, let’s take a look at the key ingredients in this formula and how they will benefit your skin. Historically, squalane has been obtained from shark livers. But as you can imagine, this is not sustainable or eco-friendly.
