It feels very serum-like compared tomineral sunscreens.
As with many chemical sunscreens, it contains homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene.
These chemical filters are combined with zinc oxide, the familiar mineral filter.

What is niacinamide and why is it important?
As its name suggests, niacinamide is the star ingredient in the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen.
Its anti-inflammatory properties can also soothe some types of acne, mild to moderate rosacea, and redness.

Should you buy it?
I also experienced some pilling but this really only happened when I combined it with too many moisturizing products.
As a commerce editor, I get to test out a lot of different products, including sunscreens.
(There are more than 20 different sunscreens in my beauty cabinet right now.)
Still, Ive found myself coming back to Glow Recipes sunscreen again and again.
After six months of use, I can honestly say its a one-of-a-kind product thats worth the money.
