About this sunscreen
ISDIN Fusion Water 5 Stars FPS50 Color is a tinted hybrid sunscreen pairing chemical filters such as Ethylhexyl Triazone and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane with Titanium Dioxide. The water-light formula dries matte, shows low white cast, and does not sting, with a commonly low pore-clogging risk, and the tint helps it sit well under or in place of makeup. The score of 66.4 reflects moderate protection, so it works best as a light, cosmetically pleasant daily layer.
