| Depends on your definition of better, do you mean ethically or more suited to a particular skin type? The first contains a number of superfluous plant extracts which could pose a risk to sensitive skin, but also some oils which may have anti-ageing properties. The second contains comedogenic oils manufactured fatty alcohols. |

| I always think those with physical ingredients are safer such as Blue Lizard. |

| They both seem about the same. The first one might be better simply due to the variety of ingredients |

| The first one may be more natural. |

The first one is 100Percent pure Argan Oil Facial Moisturizer Spf 30
The second is purple Prairie Sunstuff.
I have been using the second one for more than a year now. I like its texture very much and it seems fit my skin type pretty well, but I noticed that I am getting quite a bit of sunspots on my face in the past year or two. So I am considering replace it with another one.
Has anyone used the 100percent pure sunscreen before? Any experience to share? |

| I ordered it yesterday (just to try) because I have a friend that is using it and liked it a lot. Argan oil always agreed with my face, so in some days I can tell. |
