About this sunscreen
Nuxe Sun Tanning Oil High Protection SPF 10 is a chemical tanning oil built on modern filters: diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ethylhexyl triazone and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. It is lightweight with a dewy, oil finish and very low white cast, with low sting and low breakout risk. Note that SPF 10 is a low sun protection factor intended for those who tan easily, not for high sun defense. Its score of 88.1/100 reflects an efficient, modern formula, but choose a higher SPF if you need stronger protection.
