About this sunscreen
Heliocare 360 Invisible Spray is a hybrid sunscreen pairing octocrylene, avobenzone and octisalate with the modern filters Tinosorb S and Uvasorb HEB. It sprays on lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, doubles as an excellent makeup base, and rates low for pore-clogging. Its high sweat-sting rating means it can sting if it migrates to the eyes. With excellent protection and a strong score of 75.7/100, it is a high-performing, invisible daily option.

Is Heliocare 360 Invisible Spray good?

Does the Heliocare 360 Invisible Spray leave a white cast?
