About this sunscreen

Pharmaceris S Sun Protection Face And Body Cream SPF 30 is a chemical-leaning cream for face and body using older filters such as ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane with some titanium dioxide. It has a dewy finish, stays lightweight, and shows little white cast, though it may sting slightly if it reaches the eyes. Protection is rated good for SPF 30 everyday use. At 61.6/100 it is a modest option, limited mainly by its older filter set.
