About this sunscreen
hint Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 (Pineapple) is a scented spray built on older chemical filters including Avobenzone, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, and Octocrylene. It wears with a balanced finish, stays lightweight, and leaves little to no white cast, and it works well under makeup. It tends to sting if it reaches the eyes, so keep it off the face area. With moderate protection and a score around 60, it is a casual everyday pick rather than a high-protection option.
