About this sunscreen
La Pink Vitamin C Sunscreen SPF 50 With White Haldi is a chemical sunscreen on an older-generation filter set: octinoxate (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate), avobenzone and oxybenzone (benzophenone-3). It keeps a balanced finish, stays lightweight and is low on white cast, though the medium sweat-sting reading means it may not be ideal right around the eyes. SPF 50 offers moderate protection in practice. The 56.4/100 score is held back mainly by the dated filter selection.
