This sunscreen is one of the best fits for your dry skin because it combines hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate with nourishing sunflower and jojoba oils to deeply replenish moisture and soothe flaky areas. It also features papaya fruit extract to help improve your skin barrier while providing zinc oxide for safe, irritation-free sun protection.

Which ingredients make this sunscreen a good fit for dry skin?

Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sunflower oil, and jojoba seed oil make this sunscreen a great fit because they deeply hydrate and replenish moisture in dry skin. Carica papaya fruit extract further helps soothe dryness and flaky skin concerns while zinc oxide provides safe sun protection without irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Zinc Oxide do for dry skin?

Zinc oxide is unlikely to help dry skin on its own, because repeated use of this ingredient may increase water loss and lead to a scaly appearance. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients that lock in moisture and soothe the skin.

What does Water do for dry skin?

Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.

Skin Research and Technology, 2018
