![]() So, awareness of the reagents in the multiple face products is an important consideration when layering skin care, makeup and sun protection.Ī clear difference between Supergoop and Neutrogena is the inactive components. Benzoic acid is a breakdown product of avobenzone after interaction with light and ascorbic acid is a vitamin C precursor that is used in cosmetics. Though no solid reason for benzene in the recalled sun products have been verified, benzene can form when benzoic acid mixes with ascorbic acid. Encased avobenzone may prevent it from seeping into skin followed by the bloodstream, a process that may cause hormonal damage.įor now, using other chemicals, like octocrylene, help stabilize avobenzone. ![]() Scientists are working on making avobenzone better for skin care by experimenting with encapsulation technology. Oddly, it is very unstable on its own when exposed to light and resulting breakdown products can damage skin via permeation. NG: Avobenzone (3%), Homosalate (10%), Octisalate (5%), Octocrylene (10%)Īvobenzone is widely used in numerous chemical sun protection brands as an ultraviolet*** light absorber. With slight contrasts in percentages, recalled Neutrogena Ultra Sheer (Face Mist) uses the same basic formula of active chemicals as Supergoop. This underlies the importance of considering similarities and differences between Supergoop** and recalled brands. Sorta…ĭespite distinctive branding and cute packaging, nearly all sun care products use the same active reagents*^. I let it go (sorta) because they have presented themselves as a transparent company and developed a trust with consumers. Though Supergoop was not on the list of tested SPFs, I was a tad skeptical about potential damage to my skin this may cause due to ongoing scientific research on potentially harmful components in sun protection beauty products. Fast-forward to two years later, I bought their full-size, rebranded (Re) Setting Mist SPF 40. This was perfect for a trip because it provided a light layer of protection over makeup. Well before the recall and pandemic, I tried a travel size of Supergoop Defense Refresh Mist SPF 50. ![]()
