About this sunscreen
Cay Skin Isle Nourishing Body Mist SPF 50 is a chemical body mist using an older filter trio of Avobenzone, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, and Octocrylene with added sea moss and hyaluronic acid. The mist wears lightweight with a balanced finish and keeps white cast low, but it tends to sting and should be kept away from the eyes. Pore-clogging risk is low and it works well over the body. Protection is moderate and the overall score of 65 makes it a convenient mist for body reapplication.
