Daily Sun Serum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen vs Hydro Boost Sunscreen Water Gel Lotion SPF: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag 1,4-dioxane (non-intentional contaminant from surfactants/emulsifiers) and Fragrance allergens (if fragrance is present) on the Derma E and not on the Neutrogena.
• We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Preservative and formaldehyde-releaser risk, Microplastic shedding from polymer film-formers and Eye irritation from emulsifier or UV filter residue on the Neutrogena and not on the Derma E.
• The Derma E is Mineral sunscreen, zinc oxide base where the Neutrogena is water-based gel lotion with waterproofing agent, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Derma E is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Neutrogena grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
