About this sunscreen
Face Republic Full Bloom Sun Tint SPF 50+ PA++++ is a hybrid sunscreen that pairs mineral filters Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide with modern chemical filters including Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Ethylhexyl Triazone for strong broad-spectrum coverage. Despite the mineral content it wears matte and lightweight with a low white cast, and is generally low risk for breakouts, so it works well as a tinted base under or in place of makeup. It is gentle and non-stinging. With excellent protection and a high score of 89.8/100, it is one of the standout picks in this group.
