About this sunscreen
Clabane Skin Care Protect & Repair Advanced Hybrid Sunscreen is a chemical-leaning formula built on Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate with a little Titanium Dioxide. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast and does not commonly sting, and it sits okay under makeup. Its UV protection is rated weak, however, which drags it down. At 49/100 it is a below-average option, and a more modern filter set would serve better.
