About this sunscreen
Ginagen Skin Protection Fusion Liquid SPF 50+ is a hybrid sunscreen liquid combining Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Avobenzone and Octocrylene with mineral Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It wears matte, stays lightweight, and does not commonly sting, with a low breakout risk and good makeup-base performance, but the heavier mineral load can leave a high, clearly visible white cast. Protection is rated good and the score is 66.6/100, so it is a workable matte option for those who can accept a more noticeable cast.
