About this sunscreen
Fountain of Truth Good Day Souffle is an SPF 15 hydrating moisturizer with an older-generation chemical filter blend of Avobenzone, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, and Octocrylene. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast, but it commonly stings if it reaches the eyes, so care is advised around the eye area. Protection rates as moderate, in line with the low SPF 15. At 63.4/100 it is a light daily moisturizer with basic sun coverage rather than strong defense.
