About this sunscreen

Colorbar Vita Hemp Restoring & Balancing Body Milk With SPF is a body lotion that uses older-generation chemical filters plus a little Titanium Dioxide. It keeps a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast, but its sweat-sting profile is high, so it is best kept well away from the eyes. The listed SPF is unclear, its protection is only moderate, and the 56/100 score places it as a basic body moisturizer with sun benefits rather than a serious sunscreen.
