About this sunscreen
Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 42 is a chemical body mist built on older filters: butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and octocrylene. It applies sheer with a balanced, lightweight finish and low white cast, and layers well over or under makeup, but it is more likely to sting if it gets near the eyes. With good protection and a score of 62.7/100, it is a convenient but middling pick.
