About this sunscreen
Dr. Kelen Natura Sun Napspray SPF 50+ is a hybrid spray sunscreen combining chemical filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene) with the modern UVB filters Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone and Ethylhexyl Triazone. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and very low white cast, and it is commonly acne-friendly given its low pore-clogging profile. Note that it tends to sting if it reaches the eyes, so apply with care around that area. Its protection is rated weak and the score is 49.0, so it is a modest performer overall.
