    It’s a shame it doesn’t live up to it’s claims but it’s good it’s a nice everyday one for you if you aren’t in the sun a lot :)

    Hope that the first week of 2019 is off to a great start for you and you are having a nice weekend :)

    Sun screen with rose touch, that just sounds amazing <3

    Damask rose extracts? Sold! haha, that truly is a beautiful inclusion though. And ten thousands times YES to the minimal blush and white packaging. Too pretty!

    This was such a fabulous review. I have been looking for a sunscreen that benefits my skin while also protecting me and, on the surface, I would have assumed this one fit the bill. This really is such a great reminder to always check the ingredient list! I hope your year is off to a fabulous start!

  7. I love how detailed your review is! I’ve never heard of this product, but from your review, it looks really promising. Texture is definitely a big component of a great SPF product.

    Technically putting something untrue in the advertisement is illegal, isn’t it? I hate when producers lie about ingredients – if it’s allowed, then, for example, how can we know if our milk is really dairy free or not?

    Sunscreen is so complicated. The eo’s bother me too! Why add one more ingredient for such a already complicated product?

  14. It is odd that they claim Hyaluronic Acid and then don’t include it – this kind of thing is so easy to notice, so they had to know they would get caught on this one.

    Thank you for sharing! :) This looks like some pretty useful stuff. Not sure if I would like the smell though.

  16. This sounded so promising until I got to your deep dive into the ingredients. Like what’s up with the shadiness? This probably wouldn’t be for me since I prefer something with HEV light protection in addition to SPF because blue light damage concerns me and I spend more time in front of my computer than outside.

    Wishing you and your family and wonderful holiday and a happy and healthy new year Jenny! xo

      Exactly! I was so disappointed. They finally acknowledged their mistake though, so I guess it wasn’t intentional.

      Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas and I wish you all a happy new year!

  17. I love your honesty, Jenny, thank you! This is definitely not for me as I spend a lot of time outdoors.

    • Jenny says:

      Thank you Shireen! I definitely wouldn’t wear this, or really any physical sunscreen outdoors personally. Read a journal the other day about how physical filters aren’t as effective as chemical ones!

    The packaging is honestly so beautiful!
