About this sunscreen
BYOMA Ultra-lightweight Face Fluid SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen built on older filters including homosalate, octocrylene, and ethylhexyl salicylate, with avobenzone for UVA cover. It wears with a balanced, genuinely lightweight finish and keeps white cast low, with a low pore-clogging profile. It can sting mildly near the eyes, so apply carefully. With a score of 68/100 and good protection, it is a comfortable daily fluid, though the dated filters cap its rating.
