BareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer Cream SPF 30 vs. Purlisse Perfect Glow BB Cream SPF 30 (2022)

Position 1

#1Cyclopentasiloxane

Origin: chemical

Role: Skin conditioning agent, Emollient, Hair conditioning, Solvent

Protection

Silicones

EWG Rating [ 3 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.

Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.

#1Avobenzone (2%)

Origin: chemical

Role: No information

UV Protection

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Avobenzone is the only chemical UV-protection component with a broad spectrum coverage. It can help to block both UVA I and UVA II rays. It's safe and it is allowed to use at a 3% concentration in the USA and a 5% concentration in the EU countries.

There is one problem: avobenzone loses efficiency when exposed to the sun. If you are outside, it loses 36% of its ability to block UV rays an hour after application. That's why it's recommended to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.
