About this sunscreen
DADO SENS Sun Gel SPF 25 is a hybrid chemical sunscreen using filters including Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. It dries to a matte, lightweight finish, leaves little to no white cast, and is unlikely to clog pores, though it may sting somewhat if it reaches the eyes. With a modern filter mix and a 86/100 score, it performs well despite the lower SPF 25 rating.
