About this sunscreen
Celeteque Sunscreen Spray Lotion For Kids is a chemical SPF 50+ spray built on older-generation filters including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene and Benzophenone-3, plus some Titanium Dioxide. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast and a low pore-clogging profile, though it can sting if it reaches the eyes and the dated filters are a drawback. With moderate protection and a score of 53.6/100, it is a lower-ranked option in this group.
