About this sunscreen

Greenberry SPF 40+ Sunscreen Spray Lotion is a chemical sunscreen built on older filters including octinoxate, avobenzone and benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone). The spray lotion wears lightweight with a balanced finish and keeps white cast low, but it may sting somewhat near the eyes and the dated filter set limits its ceiling. It is low in pore-clogging potential, so it is generally acne-friendly. Scoring 60.2/100 with moderate protection, it is a basic option that trails more modern formulas.
