This sunscreen was a shockingly unpleasant experience. Rather than use a volatile silicone base, this uses a more emollient base that is still transparent and silky, but feels incredibly greasy on the skin when the proper amount is used. This also has a very unpleasant plasticky smell. AND it stung my eyes a bit. Outside of the lack of cast, there isn't much nice to say about this.
