About this sunscreen
Marina UV White Extra SPF 30 PA++ is a chemical sunscreen using an older-school filter set including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, and works okay under makeup, though it may sting eyes to a moderate degree. Its score of 62.0/100 reflects moderate protection and a dated filter blend, so it suits casual daily wear more than demanding sun exposure.
