About this sunscreen
Rilastil Sun System Comfort Matt Formula is a chemical (hybrid filter) sunscreen at SPF 50+, pairing classic filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane with modern ones like Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, plus a touch of Titanium Dioxide. As the name suggests, it wears lightweight with a matte finish and low white cast, and it works well as a makeup base, though it may sting somewhat. With a score of 72.6 and good protection, it is a dependable matte choice for oilier skin.
