Question
Active ingredients - mineral sunscreen?
Could someone please tell me what the sunscreen is in this reformulated version, directly from the box or tube? The old version (SPF 15) contained chemical sunscreens, but I thought the new version contained titanium dioxide and zinc oxide instead. I received a sample of the new version and thought that is what it said, but I used up the sample and dont have it anymore. The Stila website might have an old ingredient list since it still lists chemical sunscreens, but if you have a tube, could you please confirm that it indeed has changed to titanium and zinc? Thanks!!!

The full-size product and the sample have different sunscreen ingredients, for some reason. They are both SPF 20 and the sample contains Titanium Dioxide 5.0% and Zinc Oxide 5.0%. The full-size product contains Octinoxate 7.0% and Oxybenzone 3.0%. The shades differ between sample and full size too, even if it is labelled as the same shade.

New formulation active ingredients are Titanium Dioxide 5.0%, Zinc Oxide 5.0% (versus old had octinoxate 7%, avobenzone 3% spf 15 and not labeled oil-free).

The only 2 active ingredients (both listed as sunscreen) are something called Octinoxate 7% and Oxybenzone 3%. At the bottom of the inactive ingredients list it says it MAY contain mica, titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide. Hope this info helps you.

I'm reading of the tube, which I just got about 2 weeks ago, so I guess its the latest one? and the active ingrediants (suncreen) are Octinoxate 7% and Oxybenzone 3%.
After the list of ingrediants it adds that it may include mica, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides?
Hope that helps!
