About this sunscreen
Beesline Whitening Day Gel is an SPF 30 product pairing the chemical filter ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate with titanium dioxide. It has a balanced, lightweight feel with low white cast and a low pore-clogging profile, and it does not commonly sting. The filter set is older-generation and it works poorly under makeup. With weak measured protection and a 49.0 score, it is best seen as a light daily gel rather than a primary sunscreen for strong sun exposure.
