About this sunscreen
Hempz CBD Thirsty Hydrating Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen moisturizer built on an older filter set of avobenzone, homosalate, and octisalate. It keeps a balanced finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and its low breakout-trigger rating makes it generally suitable for skin prone to clogged pores. With only moderate broad-spectrum protection and an older filter lineup, it lands as a middling option that scores 67 out of 100. Reasonable for daily wear, but not a standout for high-UV days.

It has a balanced finish and a low breakout-trigger rating, so it is generally suitable for blemish-prone skin. The lightweight feel helps it sit comfortably without feeling heavy.
Is Hempz CBD SPF 30 a good sunscreen?
It scores 67 out of 100, a middling result. Protection is moderate and the filters are older-generation, so it works as a daily moisturizer with sunscreen rather than a high-UV pick.
