What the gurus are saying

Experts split on this essence. One rejects the fragrance and chemical sunscreens (homosalate and octocrylene), while another finds it a nice everyday pick for dry skin, appreciating the heavier, silky texture and how it can double as a moisturizer. Though the lower UVA rating means less comprehensive sun protection, it suits those with drier skin who prioritize hydration alongside sun care.

"For the Thank You Farmer products I really want to love them but a lot of their products do have fragrance. [...] This one [...] has a homosalate which is a USA chemical sunscreen which I don't use, plus it has fragrance as well and it also has octocrylene another USA chemical sunscreen."

"This applies with a similar sort of silky feeling as the Can Make sunscreen but it is a bit heavier. [...] The fact it's a bit heavier and the lower UVA rating means that this can't make it into my holy grails, but I think it is quite a nice everyday sunscreen if you have maybe drier skin and you want something a little bit heavier that can double up as a moisturizer."
