Product summary

We do not recommend "Uriage - Water Cream Tinted Compact SPF30" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product.

Sunscreen filters

This moisturizer is a mineral sunscreen. It uses titanium dioxide for sun protection. Titanium dioxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.

Irritation risk

This formulation includes some common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

What does the product description say?

For the first time, the mineral strength of Uriage thermal water has been concentrated in powder and incorporated in a compact cream that melts the skin, protects it from UV (SPF30) and infuse its unique moisturizing complex for a long time for a perfectly hydrated and protected skin.

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: sodium hyaluronate.

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: copernicia cerifera wax, copernicia cerifera cera.

sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

copernicia cerifera wax 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency

diisopropyl sebacate 23% - 34%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin without creatng a greasy finish

Sun 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.

titanium dioxide 4.2% - 6.4%

Irritation risk:

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

Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin

iron oxides 0.85% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. They might be able to offer some protection against visible light, but the degree of the protection is not clear

zinc oxide 1.8% - 2.7%

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
