I wore the same sunscreen for 30 days straight. No cheating.

It’s a chemical sunscreen. The hero is avobenzone for broad protection. Frankly, the real magic is in the texture, not a fancy ingredient list.

- Homosalate: UVB filter
- Red Algae: Antioxidant boost
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil: Lightweight moisture

It feels like a silicone primer — silky, not creamy. Absorbs in under 10 seconds. Zero scent.
By week three, I noticed it pills if you rub it over certain moisturizers. It’s picky about its friends.
