Daily Sun Serum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen vs Invisible Gel Face Sunscreen SPF 40: 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 Ultra Sheer.
• We flag Fragrance allergens and skin sensitizers, Chemical UV filter allergenicity (avobenzone, homosalate, etc.) and Eye irritation from gel formula residue on the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer and not on the Derma E.
• The Derma E is Mineral sunscreen, zinc oxide base where the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is gel sunscreen with water-resistant silicone polymers, 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 Ultra Sheer grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
