Favorite Product: Aveeno Positively Ageless Multidefense Daily Moisture SPF 42
BOC Feedback: Contains toxic ingredients such as BHT.
Suggestion: Try Josie Maran Argan Protect SPF 40+ Natural Daily Sun Protection or Juice Beauty SPF 30 Mineral Light Moisturizer.
Favorite: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil-Free SPF 20
BOC Feedback: This favorite tinted moisturizer contains methyl and propylparaben.
Suggestion: We like Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30 and skin nourishing organic Argan oil. For an oil-free product, try Kiss My Face Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 8.
Favorite: Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation
BOC Feedback: This super silky rich emollient is in a class by itself, but contains BHT and parabens.
Suggestion: We haven’t found a liquid that measures up in exact texture but we love the rich air-like feeling of Vapour Atmosphere Luminous Foundation.
