Our verdict

A fine-mist sunscreen made for the face and scalp, with water and sweat resistance and a light scent. It is a small travel size, so it will not stretch to full body coverage.

Overview

A beach bag, gym bag or desk drawer gets a spray mist made for the face, scalp and hair line. It uses a fine, light mist with hands-free application, aloe vera and cucumber, and a Summer Splash scent.

A scalp-friendly mist solves the usual problem of lotion sunscreen in hair or on a part line. The limitation is that it is scented and small, and the listing does not state how long water resistance lasts.

Who it's for

Runners, cyclists and beachgoers who want quick protection over makeup, skin and hair parting. Shoppers who dislike scented sunscreen, or need coverage for large areas of the body, should skip this one.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fine mist reaches scalp and part line
  • Hands-free spray application
  • Water and sweat resistant
  • Vegan and cruelty free
Cons
  • Scented, not fragrance free
  • Water resistance time not listed
  • Small size covers little area

Performance notes

A fine mist deposits a thin film, so protection depends on spraying evenly and rubbing it in where hair or skin would leave gaps. The listed filters set the rating, and sweat or water resistance wears off with time and friction. A spray also loses some product to the air, so apply it in a ventilated area.
