About this sunscreen
Hema All-in-one BB Cream Light SPF 15 is a tinted BB cream with hybrid protection, pairing older Avobenzone and Ethylhexyl Salicylate with modern Ethylhexyl Triazone and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone plus a little titanium dioxide. It is balanced and lightweight with low white cast, does not sting, and reads low on breakout potential. At SPF 15 the protection is moderate, and the score of 70.8 reflects a light tinted base rather than a high-protection sunscreen.
