"Bare Republic - Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Citrus Cooler" uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide reliable sun protection.

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream.

rich in linoleic acid and antioxidants, and helps to hydrate skin Raspberry Seed Oil.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: jojoba esters, vitis vinifera seed oil.

jojoba esters 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function

glycerin 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

vitis vinifera seed oil 0.1% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

rubus idaeus seed oil 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant oil that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin

daucus carota sativa seed oil 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might help neutralize free radicals and have an anti-bacterial effect

vitis vinifera seed oil 0.1% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties

Sun protection

This product uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide a reliable sun protection.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

zinc oxide 14%

Irritation risk:

UVA I protection: UVA II protection: UVB protection: Photo stable: Ingredient type Mineral

A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

loaded with Vitamin C, Raspberry Seed Oil is a super antioxidant that offers anti-aging benefits while helping to soften and smooth skin Carrot Seed Oil.

Source: Walgreens

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

This ingredient rubus idaeus seed oil might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

tocopherol 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
