This SPF is from Amazons line of generic items. It’s 3 oz and retails for less than $5! This caught my eye because its good value for the amount it comes with. Super cheap SPF’s are hard to come by in the US.

Avobenzone 3%
Homosalate 10%
Octisalate 5%
Octocrylene 6%
I’ve been using this SPF for the past couple weeks both indoors and outdoors. Amazon does have this sunscreen in an SPF 50 version, but I figured that the white cast in the SPF 50 might be harsher than SPF 30, so I opted for this one.
I attached a photo of the texture; although it seems very opaque and Zinc-y, this SPF is chemical based and applies to my pale skin very sheer. I reapply every 2 hours indoors since it is only SPF 30 but it layers on well without any pilling which is a major issue for me because I like switching up my skincare porducts underneath.
This doesn’t burn my eyes as much as other chemical SPF’s have in the past. This leaves behind a pretty shiny finish that doesn’t set down and is slightly sticky to the touch. For the price I paid for this I really don’t mind. I think this is a decent SPF to use on the daily when I am indoors and don’t want to waste my expensive SPF. This may translate to be a natural finish on more dry skin types, but definetly too shiny on oily skin.
There is a slight fragrance, which (if I could explain it) smells like a toned down version of my childhood SPF’s. Not irritating or anything, and doesnt give me clogged pores either.
