About this sunscreen
JERGENS Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer With Sunscreen is a Broad Spectrum SPF 20 chemical formula using older-generation filters Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Octocrylene. As a daily moisturizer it wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, and it is low risk for clogging pores, though it has a medium chance of stinging. With a score of 62.4/100 and only moderate protection at SPF 20, it is more of a light everyday moisturizer than a dedicated high-protection sunscreen.
