About this sunscreen

Mimitika Sunscreen Body Spray SPF 30 is a hybrid chemical sunscreen spray using Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone). It is lightweight with a balanced finish, low white cast, and low pore-clogging potential, and it layers reasonably under makeup. With only moderate protection and a score of 65.6 out of 100, it is a convenient body spray but not a top performer for sun defense.
