About this sunscreen
LETSHYPEN Sunscreen is a chemical formula using a hybrid blend of modern filters like Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus and Ethylhexyl Triazone alongside a classic cinnamate. It commonly wears balanced and lightweight with a low white cast, and is generally gentle enough not to sting the eyes. Excellent protection and low pore-clogging potential drive a strong 85.2/100, making it a reliable daily choice.
