About this sunscreen
Labos Vanergy UV Plex Tinted SPF 35 PA+++ is a tinted mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its UV filters. The tint helps it wear lightweight with a balanced finish and keep white cast low, a common benefit of tinted mineral formulas. It is low on the pore-clogging scale and does not commonly sting, and it is workable under makeup. With good protection and a score of 80.1/100, it is a strong everyday mineral choice for those who want a touch of color alongside sun protection.
