A lightweight chemical sunscreen that provides high-level UV protection with a refreshing, watery gel texture that disappears into the skin. It uses a blend of filters like Octinoxate and Uvinul A Plus alongside Sodium Hyaluronate and Ectoin to maintain hydration throughout the day. This is the one for people who hate the feeling of traditional sunscreens; it’s so light you’ll forget you’re wearing it. The high alcohol content means it sets almost instantly, making it a reliable base for makeup.
