About this sunscreen
The Anna Lotan Non Oily Day Cream SPF 50 is a chemical sunscreen built on older-generation filters including homosalate, octocrylene and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, with some titanium dioxide. It keeps white cast low and lands on a balanced finish that stays lightweight rather than heavy. It is generally low for pore-clogging but can sting at a moderate level, so very reactive skin should test first. With a score of 69.8/100 and good protection, it is a reasonable daily option that works okay under makeup.
