Goodal Goodal Houttuynia Cordata Calming Moisture Tone-up Sun Cream

What is this product?

A hybrid SPF50+/PA++++ tone-up sun cream built on six UV filters with houttuynia cordata extract at 100ppm, niacinamide, adenosine and an unusually long list of hyaluronic acid derivatives. A reasonable pick for hydration-focused daily sun protection, though the six essential oils may matter for very sensitive skin.

What makes it different?

The UV filter system mixes the mineral filter titanium dioxide with five modern organic filters, including diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, which suggests broad UVA and UVB coverage. Ten separate hyaluronic acid related ingredients appear, from hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid to sodium acetylated hyaluronate, which is generous even for a hydrating sun cream. Iron oxides provide the pink tone-up effect. The six essential oils clustered from positions 14 to 20 are the main caution flag for reactive skin.
