Kiss My Face Cool Sport Mineral Air Powered Spray Sunscreen SPF 30 by Kiss My Face for Unisex - Sunscreen
Works for
Sun protectionSPF 30 · 1 UV filter · Partial spectrumWeak protection
This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.
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.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Carthamus tinctorius seed oil, Cetearyl alcohol + 8 moreWorks
“Mineral sunscreen blended with nourishing avocado and aloe and cucumber coolers”
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, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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: carthamus tinctorius seed oil, persea gratissima fruit extract.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, Carthamus tinctorius seed oil + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ginkgo biloba leaf extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
