About this sunscreen
Fae Beauty Fae Sk*n SPF Juice is a chemical-led formula with a mineral assist, using Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone), Benzophenone-3 and Titanium Dioxide, an older filter mix. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, though it can sting somewhat near the eyes. Protection reads as good but the mid-range overall score reflects the dated filters, so it is a casual daily option rather than a top performer.
