About this sunscreen
Soleil Toujours Organic Sheer Sunscreen Mist SPF 30 is a chemical mist using an old-school filter trio of Avobenzone, Homosalate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate. The spray format wears light with a balanced finish and a low white cast, and breakout risk is low. The sting rating is moderate, so keep it away from the eyes, and it is only an okay base under makeup. With moderate protection and a score of 67.4, it suits casual reapplication over the day rather than serving as a primary high-SPF shield.
