5% octosalate, 2% octocrylene, 6% oxybenzone
STING: YES it did sting my eyes.
WHITE CAST: It does NOT have white cast. But when you over application it will reflect white in that area.
DRY DOWN: It does NOT DRY DOWN IN 20 MINUTES OR LESS. It takes over an hour for the oily finish to dry down.
WRINKLES: It does NOT settle in wrinkles.
SMELL: Yes, It has slight classic sunscreen odor.
MAKEUP: It wears beautifully under make up.
ENDURANCE: It lasts on the face all day.
FINAL THOUGHTS: If you are in the market for a high end sunscreen, nothing is ~wrong~ with this choice. It provides excellent protection, and has a more mild reaction than other chemical sunscreens. Still, I wouldn't apply in the eye area. It is good combination with mineral sunscreen around my eyes and my face on rainy days.
