About this sunscreen
Le Tan SPF 50+ Coconut is a chemical sunscreen using Homosalate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Avobenzone and 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, so it is not mineral. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low ghost-mode, so white cast is minimal. Sweat sting is moderate, and the low breakout-trigger means it is generally friendly for blemish-prone skin. With a score of 61.6 and good protection it is a serviceable everyday and outdoor SPF.
