About this sunscreen
Bld Bro Daily Mattifying SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen built on an older filter set: Octinoxate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Avobenzone and Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone). It wears to a matte finish, feels lightweight, leaves a low white cast and is a good base under makeup, with a low pore-clogging profile. The SPF 30 gives moderate protection. With a score of 57.7 out of 100, it is a middling mattifying daily option, with the dated filter blend and possible stinging holding back an otherwise comfortable, makeup-ready feel.
