About this sunscreen
The Dermaviduals Suncream SPF15 is a chemical sunscreen using a modern filter blend of Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, which gives strong broad-spectrum coverage despite the lower SPF label. It has a dewy finish, feels lightweight, and leaves little to no white cast. The formula is generally gentle with a low sting risk and low breakout risk, and it sits okay under makeup. With a high score of 91.5 out of 100, its filter quality stands out even though the SPF 15 rating suits lower-exposure days.
