About this sunscreen
Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 is a chemical sunscreen lotion using an older-generation filter trio of avobenzone, homosalate and ethylhexyl salicylate. It wears with a balanced finish, low white cast and a lightweight feel, and its low breakout-trigger rating means it is commonly suitable for acne-prone skin. Protection is rated moderate at SPF 50, so it works well for daily wear. A score of 67.7/100 makes it a solid everyday choice.
