About this sunscreen
VLCC Soothing Aloevera SPF 15 Body Lotion is a chemical body lotion using older-generation octinoxate plus titanium dioxide, with a low SPF 15 rating. It has a dewy finish, wears lightweight and keeps white cast low, and it does not sting, though it is a poor base under makeup as a body product. Its protection is weak and the score is 49.0/100, so it is best treated as a light moisturiser with minimal sun defence rather than primary protection.
