I solemnly swear to research skin care and beauty products, ask my dad (the chemist) for advice, and share those findings with you! Learn More Dear Emily, when I worked on sunscreen formulas for Europe, I still use US approved sunscreen actives even though Europe has approved a few other effective sunscreen actives as those in the Japanese formula. The Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is a chemical sunscreen. The chemical filters in the sunscreen are detailed below. Ethylhexyl MethoxycinnamateHowever, these actives has good field data from years of European consumers, I think it should be a good formula based on the ingredient list. This formula also contains silicones, which may cause breakouts in some people (though my skin doesn’t seem to react negatively to silicones). It also includes royal jelly extract, which is used more commonly in Asia than in the U.S. According to this article, royal jelly is applied topically to help reduce inflammation and moisturize the skin. This formula lists “ethanol” pretty high on the ingredient list, which is used as a solvent to dissolve sunscreen actives. Although this helps create a more “cosmetically elegant” formula that doesn’t leave a white cast, it may dry out or irritate some people’s skin. However, my dad has noted in the past that you can offset these drying effects by including moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, dimethicone, and sodium hyaluronate in the same formula, like Biore has done with this sunscreen.
