About this sunscreen
Beviro Protector Balm SPF 30 Minty Sage is a balm-format sunscreen pairing mineral Zinc Oxide with the modern Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It has a dewy finish, low white cast, and a medium weight on skin, and it is generally gentle and unlikely to sting. The balm format is not the easiest to layer under makeup. With a score of 77.1/100 and good protection, it is a solid choice for those who prefer a balm and a mineral-leaning filter base.
