Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Defense, 2 oz

Product Information

I feel like it just sits on my skin and that I have a layer of something on, it's not very breathable. A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C, that might have (in-vitro results) all the magic abilities of pure vitamin C (antioxidant, collagen booster, skin brightener). Loaded with potent antioxidants (such as astaxanthin, grape juice and sunflower shoot extracts), this powerful serum helps to protect the skin's surface from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental aggressors like UV and pollution.

A clear, colorless, almost odorless oil that spreads nicely and easily and gives a velvet dry skin feel. Marula and raspberry seed oils soften the skin and provide hydration, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, while antioxidant sunflower shoot extract and grape juice block environmental stressors and defend against free radical damage. They’re a cult favourite for a reason and are often touted as one of the best skincare brands out there, with quality and efficacy at the heart of each formulation. It has moisturizing and film-forming properties and might be able to counteract the irritating effects of cleansing agents in cleansers and shampoos.With a universally flattering tint, it’s ideal for most skin tones and leaves the complexion gorgeous and glowy.

Details: UMBRA TINTE PHYSICAL DAILY DEFENSE SPF 30 It's difficult to formulate a physical sunscreen without using chemical screens or silicones, but Drunk Elephant has done just that. Umbra Sheer™ is formulated without any chemical sunscreens, which can be sensitising and not as beneficial to skin as zinc oxide, a naturally derived physical alternative.Chemical sunscreen is absorbed by the skin and physical sunscreen sits on the surface, bouncing the sun’s rays right off the skin.

Tip: Use in conjunction with C-Firma (sold separately) for an added boost of vitamin C and antioxidants. This tinted daily sunscreen is loaded with potent antioxidants, like astaxanthin, grape juice, and sunflower shoot extract, to minimize the appearance of photoaging for a more youthful-looking complexion. It is super similar to Steareth-20 with just a little more ethoxylation and thus a little more water solubility. I make sure to moisturise my skin and then apply this spf; however, I tried liking it for a long time with and without moisturiser to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it is very grainy and not smooth to apply and looks clumpy.Overall I like the product but I think if I wanted something similar for under my make up again I'd go back to the Bobby Brown SPF primer.

Grape Juice Extract: With antioxidant properties, grape juice extract acts as a free radical scavenger and soothes skin. So great in fact, that it surpasses the penetration of pure vitamin C threefold at the same concentration and it penetrates successfully into the deeper layers of the skin (that is usually important to do some anti-aging work).

So is the Drunk Elephant SPF the best sunscreen for my skin type and routine, and should you try it, too?
