About this sunscreen
Soleil Toujours Organic Sheer Sunscreen Mist is an SPF 50 chemical sunscreen mist using an older filter blend of avobenzone, homosalate and ethylhexyl salicylate.

Protection is rated only moderate and the score is 66.3/100, so the dated filters keep it mid-pack despite the high label SPF.
