About this sunscreen
Cell Fusion C Clear Sunscreen 100 SPF 48/PA+++ is a pure mineral sunscreen built on Titanium Dioxide alone. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with a low white cast, is low on pore-clogging risk, and does not commonly sting. Its protection is rated weak in our system, since a single mineral filter limits broad coverage. At 49/100 with weak protection, it is generally better suited to light, indoor days than to high-sun exposure.
