Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): Acts as a humectant, draws moisture into the skin.

What is the texture like?
This feels like a watery gel, as its name suggests. 

Is it scented?
It has a clean, slightly sweet scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
This is just a first impression but I absolutely adore this stuff especially because, not long ago, sunscreen was terribly thick and heavy stuff. While I would honestly prefer to be rubbing 50+ SPF on my face the fact that they were able to get an SPF this degree of watery and weightless blows my mind. The texture is absolutely sublime! I love how quickly it absorbs but I also love that my skin is left feeling hydrated, soft, and supple without any tightness or dryness.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
