About this sunscreen
Green People Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30 is a hybrid mineral-and-modern formula pairing Titanium Dioxide with Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. It wears dewy and lightweight with a low white cast and is okay under makeup. It is low for pore-clogging and does not commonly sting in sweat, which suits sensitive skin. Protection is good, and the high overall score of 85 makes it one of the more appealing picks here.
