About this sunscreen
Garnier Ombrelle Sport Endurance Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50 is a hybrid sport sunscreen using homosalate, octocrylene, oxybenzone, ethylhexyl salicylate, avobenzone and Mexoryl XL. It commonly wears lightweight with a balanced finish and a low white-cast risk, and it is generally low in pore-clogging concern. The formula is noted as more likely to sting, so it may not suit eye-area use. Scoring around 67 with excellent protection, it is a capable high-SPF sport option for active wear.
