About this sunscreen
SkinWhite Glutathione + Vitamin C Lotion is a body lotion with SPF 20, using a hybrid chemical blend of octinoxate and the modern UVA filter Uvinul A Plus. It has a balanced finish, low white cast, and a lightweight feel, generally does not sting, and carries a low pore-clogging profile. The SPF 20 rating means only moderate sun protection, and it sits just okay under makeup. At 66.3/100 it is an average performer, fine as a light daily lotion but not a high-protection sunscreen.
