Besides adding in sun protection, some other ingredients reshuffled in this product compared to the non-SPF version “Hope in a jar”. But basically they are very similar.

The second abundant ingredient lauryl lactate is the mixture of lauryl alcohol and lactic acid. Lactic acid is alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which exfoliates skin surface cells by breaking down the material that holds skin cells together. AHA is also an effective anti-aging ingredient.
