About this sunscreen
Forlle'd SPF 50 is a hybrid sunscreen combining Titanium Dioxide with chemical filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. It wears with a balanced finish, a low white cast and a lightweight feel, and is unlikely to sting, but it rates as a poor makeup base. Protection is good and the formula is low in pore-clogging risk; the score of 77.5 reflects strong skin feel and protection, with layering under makeup as its main limitation.
