About this sunscreen
Scinic Enjoy Waterproof Airy Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++ is a chemical sunscreen stick using a modern filter set of Uvinul A Plus, octyl triazone, Polysilicone-15 and bemotrizinol. It dries to a matte finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and is non-stinging and water-resistant. Its breakout-trigger rating is medium, so very acne-prone skin may want to patch test.
