About this sunscreen
Bobai Sunscreen Cream SPF 80 is a hybrid sunscreen that combines mineral Titanium Dioxide with chemical filters such as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3 and modern triazine filters. It is lightweight with a balanced finish, but white cast is moderate and it can sting a little on contact, so care around the eyes is advised. Breakout-trigger is low. The score of 70.5 out of 100 pairs excellent protection with an older Benzophenone-3 component, and it is an okay makeup base.
