About this sunscreen
Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 is a chemical body sunscreen using older-generation filters: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene. It wears dewy with a glow finish, keeps white cast low and stays lightweight, and it is low on pore-clogging concerns with okay makeup compatibility. One caveat: it can sting if it reaches the eyes. With good protection and a score around 62, it is a glowy body option best kept away from the eye area.
