About this sunscreen

Floslek Anti-Aging Gold & Energy Energizing Day Cream SPF 15 is a chemical (hybrid) day cream using Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and a modern triazine filter. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and a low risk of white cast, and it does not commonly sting. The low pore-clogging profile and good makeup compatibility suit it as a daily moisturizer base. The SPF 15 grade is on the lower side, but with strong filter quality and a score of 80.2/100, it is a capable light-protection cream.
