System Verdict
Decent UV protection, but the fragrance-heavy, sensitizer-laden base drags this formula down hard. The sunscreen filter system is functional and reasonably broad for a tinted formula, but the efficacy score is capped because the formula leans on several UV filters without evidence of especially elegant photostabilization, while the safety score takes a clear hit from parfum, multiple fragrance allergens, DMDM Hydantoin, and lemongrass extract irritation risk.
