About this sunscreen
Lass naturals Sunscreen Hydro Gel SPF 50 is a chemical gel using older-generation filters: ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, avobenzone, and octocrylene. It has a balanced finish, stays lightweight, and shows low white cast, with an okay fit under makeup. It may sting slightly if it reaches the eyes. With a score of 61.9 and moderate protection, it is a serviceable everyday gel, limited mainly by its old-school filter set.
