sunscreen18 g

Key Benefits

  • Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (Tinosorb S) for broad-spectrum UV protection
  • Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (Uvinul A Plus) for UVA protection
  • Camellia japonica seed oil for antioxidant and skin barrier support
Overall Score: 8.2/10

This is an excellent, modern sunscreen stick with advanced, photostable filters and minimal irritants. Suitable for most skin types, but those with very oily or acne-prone skin should patch test due to isopropyl palmitate. Good choice for sensitive skin and daily use.
