About this sunscreen
Crystal White Skin Care Whitening Lotion SPF 30 is a sunscreen lotion using the older chemical filter ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate alongside mineral titanium dioxide. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, does not commonly sting, and is generally low risk for clogging pores. Protection is weak, however, and the score is 49.0/100, so it is best seen as a light daily lotion rather than dependable sun protection for extended exposure.
