I’m still trying to figure out why I find this product https://www.mdsolarsciences.com/products/mineral-tinted-creme-spf-30 moisturizing. I’ve tried layering a moisturizer under it, but it just feels like too much. So Paula contends there is nothing in it that moisturizes skin, but I noticed that this http://www.paulaschoice.com/cosmetic-ingredient-dictionary/definition/plant-extracts/capryliccapric-triglyceride is the third ingredient. Would this protect skin from water loss?
Capryl/Caprylic triglyceride is a mild surfactant, not an occlusive agent so the answer is no. It contains dimethicone which is an occlusive and an OTC approved skin protectant.
Hmm, okay, thanks, Randy. I’m wondering if maybe I need to either find a lighter moisturizer to wear under it, or just use moisturizer very sparingly on my cheeks which are my dry areas. I definitely turn into an oil slick after about an hour if I do my regular moisturizing routine under this sunscreen. Today I tried it on its own (no moisturizer) with a mattifying foundation and powder over it, and I still didn’t seem to be too dry. And I have normal/combo skin–not oily by most people’s standards.
