About this sunscreen
Glo Skin Beauty Moisturizing Tint SPF 30+ is a tinted chemical-mineral hybrid using Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Benzophenone-3, and Titanium Dioxide. The tint keeps white cast low and gives a balanced finish, and the lightweight feel works okay under makeup. Pore-clogging concerns are low, though it may sting somewhat around the eyes. At 60.6/100 with good protection, it is a moderate everyday option with an older filter set.
