About this sunscreen
Fresh Skinlab Jeju Aloe Ice is a hybrid SPF 30 serum-cream pairing mineral Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide with chemical filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Octocrylene. The balanced finish carries a high white cast and a medium, slightly heavier feel, with okay makeup compatibility and a medium chance of stinging. Pore-clogging risk is low. With a score of 70.8 and excellent protection, it is a reasonable multitasking pick, though the white cast is its main drawback.
