About this sunscreen
The Beauty Crop Vitamin Babe is an SPF 30 setting mist with a hybrid filter blend that includes Tinosorb S, octocrylene, and avobenzone. It has a dewy finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and is low on the pore-clogging scale, though as a mist it can sting near the eyes and rates only okay as a makeup base. Sprays make even coverage hard to guarantee, so it is best as a refresh. With good protection and a score of 67.4/100 it sits in the mid-pack.

Is The Beauty Crop Vitamin Babe mineral or chemical?
It is hybrid, with a blend that includes Tinosorb S, octocrylene, and avobenzone. There is no zinc as a primary filter.
Does the The beauty crop Vitamin Babe SPF 30 Setting Mist leave a white cast or sting?
White cast is low and it feels lightweight with a dewy finish, but as a mist it can sting if it reaches the eyes.
Is it good as a sunscreen?
