About this sunscreen
Inkeeze Ink Enhance Sunscreen Cream SPF 15 is an older-generation chemical sunscreen using Avobenzone, Octocrylene, and Ethylhexyl Salicylate. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low white-cast risk, and it works well as a makeup base, though it may sting somewhat near the eyes. It is generally low on pore-clogging concern. With only moderate protection at SPF 15 and a score of 68.6/100, it suits light, incidental sun rather than a full beach day.
