Solanoveil White Milk As Well As Pare Aqua Uv Wet Milk Sunblocks

This is business office 4 of our 2015 alcohol-free sunblock serial (part 1 part 2, part 3)

You know what annoys me to no end?

Two things:

• when my local shop is selling something that disappeared from the manufacturer's website, pregnant it has been discontinued, most likely, 

and

• sloppy CosDNA entries - I'm non an cistron nazi, but I know many people are together with CosDNA is their bible. And I'm realizing forthwith that inwards their overenthusiastic zeal to larn into every bit many products into the database, many times they tend to larn sloppy or receive got shortcuts. Missing ingredients due to pitiful copy-paste skills, missing ingredients due to pitiful translations, missing ingredients due to careless typing... 

I've realized that unless I input it inwards at that topographic point myself, I can't trust the existing entires.

OK, rant over...

Let's innovate today's contestants.

• Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++ 40 ml (made past times Omi together with besides known every bit Solanoveil Medicated Bihaku Milk)

and

• Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ 40 ml (made past times Rohto and, fortunately, entirely going nether 1 name, yay)

Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++ has disappeared from the manufacturer's website, but it's all the same available at drugstores, at to the lowest degree inwards my cervix of the woods.
Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ is simply 1 of the 23423 dissimilar sunscreens inwards the Skin Aqua range.

They are both inwards the real affordable category costing less than a yard yen a piece.



Let's start alongside Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++.

Here is the entry about it on Ratzilla's website.

In the cistron department (in Japanese), Ratzi links to Omi's (the company) website but this especial sunblock no longer appears inwards their electrical flow lineup. Oh well... It happens. And land Ratzilla doesn't listing it every bit "discontinued", it sure enough looks similar it went bye-bye.

It's supposed to hold out moisturizing together with the give-and-take "white" inwards the advert refers to the fact that it claims to foreclose hyper-pigmentation due to UV exposure. In other words - no Sun spots, or so it says.

Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++'s active ingredients are Tocopheryl Acetate (a shape of Vitamin E, anti-oxidant), Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate (a shape of Licorice extract, soothing for dry out skin) together with squealer placenta extract (who the heck knows what that is supposed to hold out doing).

Ratzi has the ingredients on her website, but here's a closeup of the Japanese version:

Not sure which 1 of these is responsible for the odour of this sunscreen, but allow me tell you, this affair stinks.
It smells similar slice of furniture polish. That fake, vaguely citrusy odour of slice of furniture spray, y'all know what I mean, right? Yeah, that's the odour of this sunscreen.

Due to this odour I couldn't purpose it on my face. The odour lingers together with sticks to the skin. Pity, because otherwise it's a real decent sunscreen.

Despite entirely PA+++ rating (PA ranking refers to the amount of protection from the UVA rays, SPF - from UVB rays.) it was a surprisingly effective sunscreen.

Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++ gets its Sun protection from these UV filters:

• Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate a.k.a. Octinoxate (to absorb UVB rays)
• Zinc Oxide (to protect against UVA together with UVB)
• Titanium Dioxide (against UVA together with UVB)

And this is how it looked on the skin:

It's a quite thick, milky liquid that spreads easily together with dries to a semi-matte, semi-satin finish. Non-sticky, non-greasy, non-filmy. There was no noticeable white cast on my skin.

I used it far away from my olfactory organ (the awful scent!) together with it worked great.
It's supposed to hold out water-, sweat- together with sebum resistant but I reapplied often.
I used an fossil oil cleanser to withdraw it land taking a shower.

As I entirely applied it on my arms together with legs, I can't tell if it would clog pores or travail breakouts. I tend to larn eczema from simply nigh everything, but at that topographic point were no major signs of irritation from this product.

So there... It smells similar slice of furniture polish, it has squealer placenta extract together with it seems to hold out discontinued. Pity. They should receive got simply fixed the scent. And changed squealer to sheep to arrive kosher / halal.



Next upwards nosotros receive got Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++.

Here is what Ratzilla has to tell nigh it.
As the advert suggests, Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ is supposed to hold out moisturizing. It has collagen, 2 kinds of hyaluronic acid together with amino acids, together with yeah, it is moist. Very moist.

Again, entirely PA+++ rating here.

These are the UV filters inwards Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++:

• Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate a.k.a. Octinoxate (to absorb UVB rays)
• Zinc Oxide (to protect against UVA together with UVB)
• Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate a.k.a. Uvinul Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Plus (to absorb UVA rays)

And here's the listing inwards Japanese upwards close:

It's the same every bit what's on the manufacturer's website.

Here is the CosDNA analysis of Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++. No major irritants found, it should hold out expert for sensitive skin.
There was no offensive smell. In fact, I didn't uncovering whatsoever noticeable odour at all.

This is how Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ behaved on the skin:

It's to a greater extent than watery than Solanoveil together with doesn't hold off every bit oily when it's spread out.
It dried to a semi-matte, semi-satin finish.

Again, it's supposed to hold out water-, sweat- together with sebum resistant.

All fine together with lovely, except for 1 thing.
This sunscreen didn't operate for me at all.

At. All.

I don't pass much fourth dimension outside. In fact when I work, I don't pass whatsoever fourth dimension outside. I simply walk from my auto to the edifice inwards the morning, together with and then dorsum to the auto inwards the afternoon. It's non a long walk. Less than five minutes.

And during that walk on the showtime twenty-four hr menstruum I used this sunscreen my arms got tanned.
I'm non a sunscreen virgin. But inwards my stupidity, fifty-fifty the tan on my arms, I decided to exam it on my face.
The result?
My human face upwards forthwith is a note darker than my neck.

Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ went direct to the garbage afterward the photograph session.



Other details:

Both sunscreen bottles are semi-transparent, if y'all concur them against the light, y'all tin meet how much production is left inside.

As both products are milks, they receive got a mixing ball inside. You request to milk shiver the bottle to brand sure the contents are uniformly blended.

Both receive got a typical spout dispenser:

Of the 2 Solanoveil is thicker together with to a greater extent than substantial. Skin Aqua is to a greater extent than watery.

Both claim to double every bit makeup bases. I didn't exam Solanoveil on my face, so I can't tell y'all how it would perform nether makeup.
And I didn't set whatsoever makeup on meridian of Skin Aqua. That was supposed to hold out phase 2 of human face upwards testing. However, nosotros never got that far.

Here y'all tin meet them side past times side:

Skin Aqua looks a lot lighter. Pity it didn't operate for me.

So that's that.
The 1 that worked smelled bad together with seems to hold out discontinued.
The 1 that didn't operate for me had a lighter texture together with no offensive smell. And it's all the same inwards production.
Murphy's Law.

The search goes on...
