About this sunscreen

Bake 10% AHA + 2% BHA Body Lotion SPF 30 is a pure mineral body lotion using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide for sun protection alongside exfoliating acids. It has a balanced finish and does not sting or clog pores, but the mineral filters can leave a visible white cast and the texture feels a touch heavier. Scoring 74.9/100 with good protection, it is a decent mineral body option for those who want SPF paired with chemical exfoliants.
