Jojoba is the interesting ingredient because it is not really an oil at all -- it is a wax ester, closer in structure to human sebum than any other plant extract, which is why it absorbs instead of sitting on the surface.

| Specification | Honest Amish Classic Beard Oil 2 oz | La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹1,899 | ₹2,490 |
| Fragrance | From the botanical oils themselves, not added synthetic fragrance | Fragranced |
| Key actives | Argan, avocado, pumpkin seed, kukui and golden jojoba oils | Avobenzone 3 percent, homosalate 10 percent, octisalate 5 percent, octocrylene 10 percent |
| Volume | 59 ml, 2 oz | 90 ml |
| Mains voltage | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Period after opening | 12 months after opening | 12 months after opening |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Application | To damp skin under the beard, not to the hair | not published |
| Comedogenic ratings | Argan and jojoba are low. Avocado oil is moderately comedogenic and can cause breakouts on the skin under the beard | not published |
| Finish | not published | Milky, absorbs without a white cast |
| How SPF scales | not published | Not linearly. SPF 30 blocks about 97 percent of UVB and SPF 60 about 98 percent. Doubling the number buys roughly one percentage point |
| Jojoba | Chemically a wax ester rather than a true oil, and closer to human sebum than any other plant oil, which is why it absorbs rather than sitting on top | not published |
| Nut allergy | Contains kukui, a tree nut oil | not published |
| Quantity | 3 to 5 drops for a short beard. Excess is the commonest cause of the greasy look people blame on the product | not published |
| Reapplication | not published | Every 2 hours in sun, and after swimming or heavy sweating |
| UVA | not published | SPF measures UVB only. UVA causes most ageing and tanning and is rated by the PA system, which US-labelled sunscreens do not carry |
| Water resistance | not published | 80 minutes, which is a tested claim rather than a marketing one |
| What actually matters | not published | Quantity. SPF is measured at 2 mg per square centimetre, about a quarter teaspoon for a face, and almost nobody applies that much. Applying half gives far less than half the rated protection |
