About this sunscreen
SNAILWHITE Body Booster SPF 30/PA+++ is a hybrid body sunscreen combining chemical filters with Titanium Dioxide and modern absorbers like Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It wears matte and lightweight, leaves little to no white cast and is generally non-stinging, with a low tendency to clog pores. It works well as a base under other products and delivers good protection. With a score of 62.2/100, it is a reasonable everyday body option, though the inclusion of Benzophenone-3 and an older chemical core keeps it from scoring higher.
