Daily Sun Serum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen vs Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Facial Moisturizer: 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 Vanicream.
• We flag Inorganic UV filter (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) particle size and lung inhalation ris, Mineral oil and petroleum distillate safety (skin barrier and bioaccumulation) and Contact allergens from wax components on the Vanicream and not on the Derma E.
• The Derma E is Mineral sunscreen, zinc oxide base where the Vanicream is emulsion-based cream (water, glycerin, mineral oil, waxes), 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.
