O3+ Dermal zone Soothing Gel Cream SPF 30

My view: Give it a miss

MRP: Rs 650 for 50ml

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Xantham Gum, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenoxyethanol, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol,

Filters

There appear to be two filters Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol???

My thoughts

The complete INCI name for Bemotrizinol, a UVA filter, is Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (BEMT).

This is a new style UVA filter, that is photostable, heavy molecule (no dermal absorption) and is also, quite rare in Indian sunscreens despite being fantastic.

Is this Bemotrizinol????

I don’t know.

In my view, if manufacturer’s do not have sufficient quality control in place to ensure an accurate description of its ingredients, I don’t need to buy it. I don’t believe in the benefit of the doubt when it comes to my skin health – especially when I have to pay for it. Enough said.
