![]() ![]() SPF 6: 0.7% octocrylene, 0.5% avobenzone (this product) The SPF 4 the only one of these not labeled as "broad spectrum." It's possible the SPF 6 didn't meet the requirements for this label, so Hawaiian Tropic just discontinued it and figured the SPF 4 was fine for those who don't care about sun-induced premature aging. The SPF 4 also contains oxybenzone, which has also been shown (also in large quantities) to mimic estrogen and disrupt endocrine function (but the concentration is so low compared to high-SPF sunscreens it probably doesn't matter). Notably, the SPF 4 has retinyl palmitate, which has been shown (in large quantities) to actually increase the risk of skin cancer. There are a few differences between this and the SPF 4 Tanning Lotion. The only difference between the SPF 6 and SPF 8 Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch sunscreens is a slightly higher concentration of active ingredient octocrylene (1.0% vs. Because of the smell and consistency, I'm not a fan of the SPF 15 at all. The SPF 4 is the thickest and has a slightly stronger smell, with the SPF 6 and 8 the same medium thickness/smell, and the SPF 15 the runniest. ![]() The SPF 4, 6, and 8 also have the same rich cocoa butter/coconut oil smell, whereas the Ultra Radiance has a very floral, feminine smell. The SPF 4, 6, and 8 come in the same dark brown bottle, whereas the the SPF 15 Ultra Radiance comes in a beige bottle and the flower illustration is shiny. It's also usually sufficient for the less pigmentally-gifted who find themselves in my car with the top down, so I keep a bottle of this in my car.įor background, I've used Hawaiian Tropic SPF 4 Tanning Lotion Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum SPF 6 Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum SPF 8 Lotion Sunscreen, and Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Ultra Radiance Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen. I generally use SPF 4 or 6, but I use this sunscreen on very sunny days or long drives, or the day after a lot of sun exposure. Now I drive a convertible and have a patio that gets direct sunlight most of the year, so I need sunscreen. I moved to California a year ago for the sunshine because I'm usually vitamin D deficient and got depressed in New York winters. I'm pale without sun exposure but tan very well (skin type 4, maybe 3.5). ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.I have mostly Eastern European with some Mediterranean ancestry.
