Superactive Brightening Moisturizer SPF 50 with Vitamin C

This is a daily SPF 50 moisturizer built around 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, plus a four-part chemical sunscreen filter of avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. Avocado oil and panthenol keep it from feeling like a typical sunscreen, and it carries a very slight tint from iron oxide. It's meant to stand in for a separate moisturizer and sunscreen step in the morning.
