About this sunscreen
Eiem Beauty Natural Sunscreen pairs mineral Zinc Oxide with older chemical filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. The finish is balanced and the white cast stays low, though the texture leans toward the heavier, more masking side. Breakout concerns are low and it works okay as a makeup base. With moderate protection and a 65.3/100 score, it is a middle-of-the-road option rather than a top performer.
