About this sunscreen
PLUM Bodylovin' Hawaiian Rumba is an SPF 44 chemical body lotion using older-school filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Homosalate and Avobenzone. It applies with a balanced finish, minimal white cast and a low pore-clogging risk, though it may sting if it drifts toward the eyes when you sweat. It works passably under makeup and feels lightweight. At 61/100 with only moderate protection, it is a reasonable casual body option rather than a top performer.

Is PLUM Bodylovin' Hawaiian Rumba a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is a chemical sunscreen built on older-school filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Homosalate and Avobenzone. White cast is low, which is typical for chemical formulas.
Will the PLUM Bodylovin' Hawaiian Rumba Body Lotion SPF 44 Pa+++ sting my eyes when I sweat?
It may. Sweat-stinging is rated medium, so it can irritate if it drifts toward the eyes during heavy activity. The finish is balanced and it stays lightweight otherwise.
Is it good and what SPF is it?
It is SPF 44 and scores 61/100 with moderate protection. That makes it a reasonable casual body sunscreen rather than a top performer.
