The INKEY List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF30, 50ml

Product Information

WHAT ARE THE KEY PROPERTIES OF THIS SPF?It is free from silicone & essential oils. We are proud to say that it's reef safe, cruelty free and vegan friendly. WHY ISN'T IT AVAILABLE IN CANADA?In Canada, our product would be classified as a Natural health product, which requires certification to be able to produce. In the US our SPF is classified as an over the counter (OTC) drug, and in UK and EU it’s a cosmetic item; both of which our manufacturer is certified to produce. Dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic, this is the perfect SPF product for the person that wishes to finish their skincare routine with an SPF and carry about their day with a dewy finish or then apply their makeup with a smooth perfect primed canvas.

Applying Every Two Hours: Apply sunscreen before going outdoors 15 minutes before. This gives your skin enough time to absorb it and provide protection against the harmful UV rays. If you wait until you are in the sun to apply sunscreen, your skin is unprotected and can burn. As we all know, protecting our skin from those harsh UVA and UVB rays is crucial for maintaining healthy looking skin. Our new Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 not only provides top-notch protection, but it also enhances your natural radiance, leaving you with a dewy, healthy glow.

Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 PA++++

Stay one step ahead of the sun with x2 of our bestselling lightweight, broad-spectrum Dewy SPF 30. This game-changing SPF offers UVA & UVB protection and has been designed to work for all skin tones and blend seamlessly into the skin, leaving an undetectable, dewy finish. (97% said it looked invisible on their skin tone*). In real terms, this means that if unprotected skin would take ten minutes to show signs of burning, then after properly applying SPF 30 sunscreen itwould slow the rate ofsun burnto the point where it would take 30 times longer.

When adding new products to your skincare routine, we always recommend patch testing. Learn more here. Dewy base – In my opinion, this product has a semi-dewy finish as opposed to a fully dewy one. I have definitely tried sunscreens that have a dewier finish, so I think this is best if you want subtly glossy skin rather than full-on glow. Why have we chosen SPF 30 over SPF 50? We wanted to create an SPF that would fit into everyone’s everyday routine as Step 5 to ensure everyday protection without compromising on dewy skin. We’ve worked hard to create a formula that balanced wearability with protection. After rigorous testing on multiple levels of SPF, this formula was the one that guaranteed to be truly suitable for all skin tones and types. Is it suitable for eczema/rosacea? Technically from a formula perspective yes, but we always recommend a patch test for anyone with a skin concern. HOW DO I LAYER THIS UNDER MAKE UP?We recommend to wait 2-3 minutes before applying makeup. This will give the SPF a chance to fully absorb and settle without leaving any white residue.The texture of The Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 is really nice.

That’s why we are in it with you! Whatever you want to know, however, you want to know it, when it comes to finding out what’s best for your skin we’re here for you, whenever you need us. Skincare is a journey and we are in it together. While Polyglutamic Acid, commonly abbreviated as “PGA,” is an acid, it does not exfoliate, but has similar benefits to Hyaluronic Acid. What makes PGA unique is that it is water-soluble providing moisture to the skin surface. It minimises the evaporation of water by creating a thin, breathable film on the skin that reduces water from escaping. And it is considered a perfect priming ingredient for foundation – smoothing the skin surface and leaving it dewy and glass-like. But before we all drift into a marketeer’s reverie, it is worth noting that although polyglutamic acid is safe, it is not – unlike hyaluronic acid – a substance already naturally present in the body. Independent – which means non-commercial – trials of its benefits are minuscule in quantity compared with those on very established humectants such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid.The texture is creamy but lightweight, and has a slight tint, which has been added to counteract any chalky residue that zinc oxide can leave. To start with, always apply an adequate base before putting on any makeup – this should be the final step in your daily skincare routine. Now, when the time comes to re-apply SPF, you can simply use a sponge to blot sunscreen on top of your makeup gently. Just add some sunscreen to a dampened sponge and lightly dab it all over your face until absorbed, ensuring every area is adequately covered. But that's not the only standout component in the tube. Dobos points out a few other stars on the ingredients list. "These definitely aren't the sexiest ingredient names, but they are pretty great: C9-12 alkane and coco-caprylate," she says. "These both have naturally derived emollients that are being used as a substitute for cyclic silicones." These two make the sunscreen look glowy without feeling oily or greasy. Can I add this SPF into my makeup/foundation as it contains SPF? How will this affect the protection? This product has been formulated as an SPF first and foremost and therefore it’s important that it’s applied properly & regularly to offer the correct protection. For this reason, this product should be applied alone as the last step in your skincare routine. It’s been formulated to leave your skin protected, primed and dewy, therefore giving you the perfect base for makeup.
