About this sunscreen
Supergoop Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide Boost SPF 40 is a chemical sunscreen using an older blend of avobenzone, homosalate, salicylate, and octocrylene with added ceramides. It wears with a dewy finish, stays lightweight, and keeps white cast low. It may sting more than some, so keep it away from the eyes, though it is generally low pore-clogging. The score of 68.4 with good protection makes it a hydrating mid-pack daily.
