About this sunscreen
Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Rejuvina Protective Lotion SPF 15 is a pure mineral sunscreen relying on Titanium Dioxide alone. As a single-filter mineral lotion it carries a medium white cast and a slightly heavier, dewy feel, and it sits poorly under makeup. It is low-sting and generally low for breakouts. SPF 15 gives only weak protection, and at 49.0/100 it is best treated as a light supplement rather than a primary sunscreen.
