Summary
This sunscreen contains beneficial ingredients such as zinc oxide and shea butter, which are known for their skin-protective properties. However, it also includes some processed components like C13-C15 alkane and benzyl alcohol, which slightly reduce its overall rating. The product is moderately processed, which impacts its score, but it avoids major harmful substances commonly found in lower-rated sunscreens.
