About this sunscreen
Biodermal Anti-Age SPF 30 is a chemical anti-age day product using octocrylene and ethylhexyl salicylate alongside the modern filters Tinosorb S, Uvinul T 150 and Uvinul A Plus, plus avobenzone. It sets to a dewy finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and works well as a makeup base, though it may sting slightly near the eyes. Breakout risk is generally low. SPF 30 with this filter mix earns an excellent protection rating, and the score of 81.7/100 makes it a strong everyday pick.
