What SPF is Soraya Coconut and Argan Sun Oil?
It is SPF 10, a low level that gives only moderate protection. It is a tanning-style oil meant for minimal coverage, not strong sun defense, so reapply often and pair it with shade.
Is this sun oil good under makeup or for acne-prone skin?
It is a poor base under makeup and carries a moderate pore-clogging risk, so it is generally not ideal for oily or breakout-prone skin. The dewy, oil-based finish suits dry skin and body use more than the face.
Is Soraya Sun Oil SPF 10 mineral or chemical?
It is a chemical (hybrid) sun oil using Octinoxate and Uvinul A Plus (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate). It contains no mineral zinc or titanium filters.
