I haven't reviewed any sunscreens in a really long time because I have around 8-9 sun screens open at the moment which I need to use up fast before they expire
GRAYMELIN is a new brand for me. I was oblivious to their existence until Joohky introduced me to the brand
Product Description
A moistful daily sun cream which perfectly protects skin against harmful UV rays leaving a fresh finish without any sticky feeling or white cast. Formulated with 6 botanical ingredients, soothes and protects sensitive skin from external harmful elements. Contains Galactomyces Fermented Filtrate and Ceramide to brighten up skin tone and improve skin moisture barrier.
The packaging is simple, a very bright yellow squeeze tube with a black cap. I had a bright backdrop in my cupboard which matched the bottle perfectly so I used it for the photography .
I peeled off the silver sealed and the first thing I noticed was the citrus scent mixed in with green tea. According to the ingredients listut does contain green tea extracts.
The texture of the sunblock is what blew my mind. It is cream like but very light . Weather is currently hot and humid in my city and I am avoiding all kind of heavy moisturizers, foundation and primer but this felt so pleasant and cooling on skin . This does leaves a white cast but since the texture is light and moisturizing it is easy to blend into the skin. I wore this under makeup and it didn't pill or made my skin look flaky.
Keeping in mind the recent sunscreen controversy I looked up for ingredients list online and found out that this contains various Sun Filters like Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate , Zinc Oxide, Homosalate, BisEthylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Octocrylene. That is five filters in total. Not really sure if this is adequate for a physical sunscreen but I personally didn't get any sunburn /tan when using this.
Overall I am quite happy with this and will continue to use this .you can purchase this GRAYMELIN Galactocera Re-Turn Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++ from Joohky here. Link of Cosdna Analysis is posted here.
