About this sunscreen
Artistry Skin Nutrition Hydrating Day Lotion SPF 30 is a chemical day lotion using octocrylene, octisalate and avobenzone, an older filter set. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and a low white cast, and works okay under makeup. Its low breakout-trigger rating suggests it is generally fine for blemish-prone skin, though the filters can sting somewhat near the eyes. With moderate protection and a 65.1/100 score, it is a modest hydrating daily option.
