I have been a loyal Skin Biology user for the past 4 years. I am currently using SuperCop serum in the morning followed by Day Cover, LacSal serum in the evening and Retinol in Squalene as a moisturizer. I have been looking for a good non-chemical sunscreen for my face in addition to Skin Biology Day Cover because I spend a lot of time outdoors. Could anyone please tell me if this product is a good option???

The problem is the sodium hyaluronate. This will wet the skin and slowly damage the skin barrier.

Thank you Dr. Pickart. I really appreciate your time. I did notice the Sodium Hyaluronate in the ingredients, but thought it might be OK since one of the recommended sunscreens you have listed on your website also contains Sodium Hyaluronate (Jan Marini Bioglycolic SPF 15).

What do you think of Burt's Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen SPF 30?
