About this sunscreen
Barenbliss Bloomdew Inner Light Serum Tint is a lightly protective skin tint using zinc oxide and the chemical filter Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, an older-generation pairing. It keeps white cast low, has a matte finish, feels lightweight, and is unlikely to sting. It works well as a makeup base, in line with its tint format, but provides only moderate protection.
