In this Eucerin Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 sunscreen lotion review, I find an exceptional SPF 50 sunscreen! Thanks go to Joanna for this sunscreen!
Hi again, time for more updates! I know it’s been a few months since the last update – I’ve been quite busy. I finished my surgical technologist program, got my AS in surgical technology, got CST certified, and also accepted into the ABSN nursing program at SFSU (which was my alma mater some 20 years ago). I never thought I would go back, but here I am. Anyways… before I start school this month, I figured I would knock out the backlog of sunscreen submissions. Ok. Less yapping, more results.
The Eucerin Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 sunscreen lotion is a mineral sunscreen formula which contains Zinc Oxide at 24%.
The Eucerin Sensitive Mineral reduced 99.93% of irradiated UVA, 99.15% UVB, and 99.88% of total UVI. SUPER awesome results for a mineral sunscreen!
