About this sunscreen
Plante Camu Camu White Body Lotion SPF 50 is a chemical body lotion using older-generation filters including Octocrylene, Homosalate and Benzophenone-3. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, but it can sting noticeably on sensitive skin. Scoring 51.4 out of 100 with moderate protection, it is the weakest option in this group, held back by the dated filter set, so it is best treated as a basic body lotion only.
