@PrettyPaint No worries. 🙂 I pick on poor avobenzone a lot, but it’s really not a bad UV filter. I mean, ascorbic acid, kojic acid, and retinol are also very photo-unstable ingredients; like avobenzone, they just need helpers to keep ‘em from breaking down in sunlight (if they’re in products meant to be used during daytime). It’s all in how products are formulated. The newer UV filters have an advantage there, but that just helps folks who are skin-sensitive to avobenzone or its stabilizers. I could get extra nerdy about avobenzone vs. other UVA filters’ peaks and ranges of UVA2 protection, but I’ll spare you. 😅 You can find various charts/graphs that show that info. I’ll just say, don’t focus only on the peaks; notice how some filters drop off as the UVA2 range increases, vs. others that extend deeper into that range. The FDA approval process is kinda ridiculous, partly because sunscreens are regulated as drugs* instead of cosmetics in the US—and partly because the FDA’s often slow as a sloth in molasses. (Possibly even slower nowadays, thanks to the current administration.) The FDA put together a pdf that kinda summarizes the process… lemme go find it again… SpoilerScreenshot of FDA Approval Process pdf, page 1…….and here’s page 2.L’Oreal has gone through this process to get their Mexoryl 400 UV filter approved. (That’s filter’s in La Roche-Posay’s UVMune line of sunscreens, available in Europe.) I don’t know the latest on that though… I remember hearing the FDA actually approved one of the UVMune sunscreens… this reminds me to find out what’s going on with that. If L’Oreal, of all companies, can’t get a new filter approved—considering the amount of research & dev they always do—then I dunno who can.

UV filters are listed by their INCI names in the mix of all other ingredients on Korean sunscreen labels. One of the filters in BoJ’s Sun Relief sunscreen (Korean version) is “Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol” which is Tinosorb M.

@ElegantRetiree @Welcome to BIC. sephora employee here I have barely there brows. I like to use an eyeshadow a shade darker than my hair color and Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz® Ultra-Slim Precision Eyebrow Pencil Ebony to fill in the rest.

The Fit: RTR for the Toccin pant and Natori for the pleated shirt .The accessories and shoes are mine on from who knows where or when, 😂I'm trying not to buy these pants, but there's a good promo and I feel like at this point, yes, wide leg pants are basically my personality. The Fab: I was going for cumberbund, and this was more obi. But, honestly, who have I've been dandying this whole time if you think about it............ Like, c'mon, this is the dandyest of dandies.I def wanted a broach like this for another week, so I'm subconsciously looking for one. I will also likely go Penelope when I cave and buy these pants. The Face:I've been dying to do the pop of red (again, I think I was subconsciously channeling Janelle all along) and saw a good smoky neutral eye with a red lip by (IG: paintedbyspencer), so with a neutral outfit, this was the time.

@greeneyedgirl107 yes you can! I almost never post on anything, just opt out of social media. It mostly wants you to review on Sephora/Ulta/ cosmetics websites and Nordstrom’s!

Thank you so much!! @Samtian
