About this sunscreen
Beaute Mediterranea Dragon's Blood Regenerative Cream SPF 12 is a skincare cream with low SPF, using the older filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Benzophenone-3. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast and a medium chance of slight stinging. With a 49.0/100 score and weak protection, the SPF 12 rating is too low for dependable sun defense, so it is better seen as a treatment cream than a sunscreen.
