A Comparison Review: Purito Water Comfy Sunblock, Purito Centella Green Level Safe Sun and Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun

Sunscreen Sunscreen Sunscreen I just cant have enough of them. I have been planning this post for a really long term time but I thought to wait for the unscented version and include it as a part of review too

I have reviewed all of these sunscreens individually in previous posts both on my blog and instagram. Incase you want to read an in-depth review with more pictures and details you can check the posts here and here

I have oily/dehydrated acne prone skin. And currently the city where I am residing is going through very hot and humid summer season ( 43C+ )  

Physical and chemical sunscreens both work on the principles of absorbing UV waves and turning them into heat energy but Physical Sunscreen also reflectes about 5-10% of UV rays

I will start with the packaging:
Purito uses recycled card box for packing all its products. They take the word ''Green'' seriously. Some of these boxes have extra information, ingredients list and fun facts printed on the inside of the box

• All three of these sunscreens come in a matte tube with nozzle. Both Purito Centella Green Level Safe Sun and Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun have white lids /cap while the Purito Water Comfy Sunblock (read full review here) has a black lid/cap

Another notable thing about these sunscreen is that Comfy Sunblock has blue details on tube while Safe Sun has Green details and Unscented version is white with Green Outline

Purito Centella Green Level Safe Sun and PURITO Centella Green Level Unscented Sun (read review here) are chemical sunscreens and have a distinct light green color. But the difference between the two is in the ingredients list. If you look closely you will see that the essentials oil ( Lavender oil and Nobilis flower oil) are completely removed from the Unscented Formula and that is why its 100% scent free
Both of these have an emulsion like quality to them they feel moisturizing on the skin and spread easily too. Initially when you rub it onto the skin its becomes white but within a minute or two it completely blends into the skin and leaves zero white cast

On other hand Purito Water Comfy Sunblock has a more of a cream like consistency , leaves no white cast, is a bit less moisturizing than the Purito Safe sun and leaves a somewhat matte finish . It also uses physical filters like Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for absorbing/reflecting UV rays

From my perspective  ''Purito Water Comfy Sunblock is better suited for oily to combination skin, for hot, humid, summer weather or for those who prefer physical susncreens in general'' 

 While ''Purito Centella Safe Sun is more moisturizing and suitable for people who prefer chemical sunscreen or have dry to normal skin, spend a lot of time in air conditioned room or the weather is dry and cold''

'' And for people who have sensitive skin and react to Lavender Oil, or prefer scent free sunscreens PURITO Centella Green Level Unscented Sun is the best option ''

Purito recently announced that they will be releasing an unscented version of Purito Water Comfy Sunblock soon so keep your eyes peeled for the exciting launch

[Review] PURITO Comfy Water Sunblock

PURITO is a combined word of "Purify" and "To” (comes from a Chinese character, 土 meaning “Soil”). “Purify” means to purify their natural ingredients to create safe and clean products.  “To” means to go back to basics to strengthen and repair collapsed skin barriers.

Purito previously introduced a chemical sunscreen last year which was very well received in the skincare community because of zero white cast and nice moisturizing texture. This year Purito added physical sunscreen to add more options for various skin concerns. Personally I prefer physical sunscreens over chemical ones because I have sensitive eyes and some skincare/ makeup products can cause irritation

Features:
A mild sunblock with a powerful broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ . The lightweight, non-greasy formula can be spread effortlessly without leaving a sticky feeling
Safe to use, with 100% non-nano mineral active ingredients & EWG green level ingredients

Ingredients

Water, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin , Dipropylene Glycol, Zinc Oxide, Silica, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891),Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Cetearyl Olivia, Sorbitan Olivate, Stearic Acid, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside , Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil,
Lauroyl Lysine , Disodium EDTA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Adenosine, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

The sunblock is made from ingredients with an EWG Green Level rating of 1 or 2 and so it can be used safely on even the most sensitive skins.

• It is a non-nano physical sunscreen that reflects and scatters 100% of UV rays from the surface of the skin. It can be used by pregnant women and children, as well as everyone else in your family.

• It is a fresh and light physical sunscreen without the stiff and sticky feeling and makeup smearing effect you experience with other sunblocks, through its 70% water-based composition and PURITO’s proprietary technology, leaving you feeling soft and fresh.

• An SPF 50+ PA++++ rating means the sunblock thoroughly and safely blocks out UV rays.

The packaging is really simple squeeze tube which holds 60 ml of product in it. I really prefer squeeze tubes because of their hygienic and spill proof nature. Overall 60 ml is an amount which exceeds normal. sunscreen quantity that many brands offer which is great and makes this economical too

I like the cream like texture of this sunblock. Comparing  this to the PURITO Centella Green Level Safe Sun   which has more of a emulsion like consistency and is a chemical  sunscreen this feels so nice and light on the skin due to its high water content. The best part has to be the fact that this completely blends into the skin without any white cast. ( regardless of skin color/tone). The formula  sits well under makeup. This smells like Cica. The scent is mild and very less noticeable

I recently noticed that the back and the front of the neck are two different color due to sun burn so I started slathering sunblock on my neck too. Thought the color has not become even completely its not as tan as it used to before.  Physical sunscreens are notoriously known for their thick stiff texture which mattifies the skin and clog pores. But Purito has truly redefined the whole concept of physical sunscreen and really busted all the myths surrounding sunscreen. This doesnot clog pores. It can easily be removed with double cleansing, zero white cast. Posses moisturizing qualities which makes this also work as a makeup primer  and most importantly does not clog pores

I am totally overwhelmed by this sunscreen. I have without any doubt found my holy grail sunscreen. You can find PURITO Comfy Water Sunblock here
