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,
- sloppy CosDNA entries - I'm non an constituent nazi, but I know many people are as well as CosDNA is their bible. And I'm realizing at nowadays that inwards their overenthusiastic zeal to larn inwards equally many products into the database, many times they tend to larn sloppy or receive got shortcuts. Missing ingredients due to hapless copy-paste skills, missing ingredients due to hapless translations, missing ingredients due to careless typing...
I've realized that unless I input it inwards at that spot 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 as well as equally good known equally Solanoveil Medicated Bihaku Milk)
and
- Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ 40 ml (made past times Rohto and, fortunately, exclusively going nether ane name, yay)
Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++ has disappeared from the manufacturer's website, but it's yet available at drugstores, at to the lowest degree inwards my cervix of the woods.
Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ is simply ane of the 23423 dissimilar sunscreens inwards the Skin Aqua range.
They are both inwards the really affordable category costing less than a M yen a piece.
Let's start amongst Solanoveil White Milk SPF50+ PA+++.
Here is the entry about it on Ratzilla's website.
In the constituent department (in Japanese), Ratzi links to Omi's (the company) website but this exceptional sunblock no longer appears inwards their electrical flow lineup. Oh well... It happens. And spell Ratzilla doesn't listing it equally "discontinued", it for sure looks similar it went bye-bye.
It's supposed to survive moisturizing as well as the give-and-take "white" inwards the elevate 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) as well as squealer placenta extract (who the heck knows what that is supposed to survive doing).
Ratzi has the ingredients on her website, but here's a closeup of the Japanese version:
Not sure which ane of these is responsible for the odor of this sunscreen, but allow me tell you, this affair stinks.
It smells similar slice of furniture polish. That fake, vaguely citrusy odor of slice of furniture spray, you lot know what I mean, right? Yeah, that's the odor of this sunscreen.
Due to this odor I couldn't purpose it on my face. The odor lingers as well as sticks to the skin. Pity, because otherwise it's a really decent sunscreen.
Despite exclusively 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 as well as UVB)
- Titanium Dioxide (against UVA as well as UVB)
And this is how it looked on the skin:
It's a quite thick, milky liquid that spreads easily as well as 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!) as well as it worked great.
It's supposed to survive water-, sweat- as well as sebum resistant but I reapplied often.
I used an crude oil cleanser to take away it spell taking a shower.
As I exclusively applied it on my arms as well as legs, I can't tell if it would clog pores or movement breakouts. I tend to larn eczema from simply close everything, but at that spot were no major signs of irritation from this product.
So there... It smells similar slice of furniture polish, it has squealer placenta extract as well as it seems to survive discontinued. Pity. They should receive got simply fixed the scent. And changed squealer to sheep to larn inwards kosher / halal.
Next upwards nosotros receive got Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++.
Here is what Ratzilla has to country close it.
As the elevate suggests, Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ is supposed to survive moisturizing. It has collagen, 2 kinds of hyaluronic acid as well as amino acids, as well as yeah, it is moist. Very moist.
Again, exclusively 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 as well as UVB)
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate a.k.a. Uvinul H5N1 Plus (to absorb UVA rays)
And here's the listing inwards Japanese upwards close:
It's the same equally 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 survive adept for sensitive skin.
There was no offensive smell. In fact, I didn't abide by whatsoever noticeable odor 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 as well as doesn't await equally oily when it's spread out.
It dried to a semi-matte, semi-satin finish.
Again, it's supposed to survive water-, sweat- as well as sebum resistant.
All fine as well as lovely, except for ane thing.
This sunscreen didn't move 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 machine to the edifice inwards the morning, as well as and then dorsum to the machine inwards the afternoon. It's non a long walk. Less than v minutes.
And during that walk on the outset twenty-four hours 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 confront at nowadays is a note darker than my neck.
Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA+++ went instantly to the garbage afterwards the photograph session.
Other details:
Both sunscreen bottles are semi-transparent, if you lot concur them against the light, you lot tin run into how much production is left inside.
As both products are milks, they receive got a mixing ball inside. You bespeak to milkshake the bottle to brand sure the contents are uniformly blended.
Both receive got a typical spout dispenser:
Of the 2 Solanoveil is thicker as well as to a greater extent than substantial. Skin Aqua is to a greater extent than watery.
Both claim to double equally makeup bases. I didn't exam Solanoveil on my face, so I can't tell you lot how it would perform nether makeup.
And I didn't pose whatsoever makeup on altitude of Skin Aqua. That was supposed to survive phase 2 of confront testing. However, nosotros never got that far.
Here you lot tin run into them side past times side:
Skin Aqua looks a lot lighter. Pity it didn't move for me.
So that's that.
The ane that worked smelled bad as well as seems to survive discontinued.
The ane that didn't move for me had a lighter texture as well as no offensive smell. And it's yet inwards production.
Murphy's Law.
The search goes on...
