Sun Bum Original SPF50 sunscreen spray (★)

February 17, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

Could a chemical based spray sunscreen be bad? Despite using 4 different UV blocking agents, this sunscreen provided very little UV protection.

Aveeno Positively Mineral SPF50 (sensitive skin) (★★★★★)

February 16, 2022April 3, 20251 Comment

The Aveeno positively mineral sunscreen is a high scoring, UV blocking powerhouse. Despite being somewhat thin when spread, this sunscreen provided strong and consistent coverage!

February 15, 2022September 26, 20227 Comments

One of the worst performing SPF50 PA++++ chemical based sunscreens I have tested to date. Aqua Rich? Aqua FAIL!

Despite the bad looking sample, the Etude House BB Cream SPF30/PA++ works well as a sunscreen.
