I think this is my HG  I bought this from frenchcosmeticsforless.com for US $23 for a 40ml tube. I took about 2 1/2 wks to get. It is water resistant w/ a very, very light fragrance. The texture is thin, fluid, and spreadable.
I've used it for 1 1/2 wks this winter. It has not clogged my pores, nor does it make me shiny. It gives me what I would term a dewy glow, which is what I want. It is not greasy at all - sinks in beautifully. I suppose the true test will be this summer, but at least for winter this gives a lovely, soft finish. Even at the end of the day my make up stays put w/ very minimal shine.
Ingredients: water(aqua), dicapryly carbonate, octocrylene, methylene bisbenzotriazolyl, tetramethylbutylphenol, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, cyclomethicone, alcohol denat, C20-22 alkyl phosphate, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol, methoxyphenyl triazine, PTFE, C20-22 alcohols, tocopheryl acetate, ectoin, mannitol, xylitol, rhamnose, fructooligosaccharides, laminaria ochroleuca extract, decyl glucoside, xanthan gum, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer, disodium edta, sodium hydroxide, propylene glycol, citric acid, caprylic/capric triglyceride, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben. (Hope I spelled everything correctly - to me a lot of it is "blah blah blah blah"  ) |

I am wrong about Bioderma and MMU!!! While the Tinosorb ingredients are good actives which stabilize avobenzone in Bioderma, as Molly suggested, the extra zinc, titanium, etc. in MMU can pose problems. And though my MMU brand, Jane Iredale Pressed Base contains some silicone ingredients which offer a sort of buffer, and I've read that some formulators have claimed zinc and titanium can, under certain conditions, stabilize avobenzone, I don't want to take the chance unless I learn more.
I guess it's back to Avene for times when I'm wearing MMU, since optimal protection is a priority for me. |
