About this sunscreen
Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ Face Fragrance Free is a chemical hybrid combining Homosalate and Octocrylene with modern filters like Ethylhexyl Triazone, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It wears balanced with low white cast, a lightweight feel and low breakout risk, though it may sting somewhat near the eyes. The fragrance-free face formula earns an excellent protection rating. At 79.8/100 it is a strong everyday face lotion.
