Max Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45

Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that this product can offer reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This is a mineral sunscreen. It uses zinc oxide for sun protection. Zinc oxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.

Irritation risk

WIMJ summary for sun protection

This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

It is a mineral sunscreen. In other words, it contains non-organic UV filters. It will probably not sting your eyes but might leave a white cast.

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.

WIMJ summary for evens skin tone

This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).

Sephora

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: squalane, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
polymethylsilsesquioxane	HIGH
ethylhexyl olivate	HIGH
carthamus tinctorius seed oil	HIGH

phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.55% - 0.8%
sorbitan olivate Helps oil and water mix together	0.55% - 0.8%
oleth-3 phosphate Helps water and oil mix together	0.5% - 0.75%

xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.4% - 0.65%
polymethylsilsesquioxane A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss	0.35% - 0.6%
polyhydroxystearic acid Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation	0.35% - 0.6%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.3% - 0.55%
squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.	0.35% - 0.65%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.3% - 0.55%

ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.2% - 0.4%
octyldodecanol An emollient that helps to soften the skin and create a pleasant product texture and stabilize the formulation	0.2% - 0.35%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.15% - 0.25%
sodium propoxyhydroxypropyl thiosulfate silica	0.15% - 0.25%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.1% - 0.2%
diamond powder Does not have known skin benefits. Might help create an optical illusion of smoother skin	0.15% - 0.3%
iron oxides An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499	0.05% - 0.1%
