Where to buy
Amazon Solimo has been compared to Neutrogena’s facial sunscreen lotion. This affordable non-greasy facial sunscreen can be counted on to protect your skin from UV rays.
The ingredients in this sunscreen do not contain the infamous chemicals that harm coral health, oxybenzone, and octinoxate. However, pesky reef-harming chemicals like octocrylene, octisalate, avobenzone, and homosalate are included in this product. Therefore, this is NOT a complete sustainable reef-safe option.
The texture of this sunscreen is lightweight, similar to most chemical sunscreens on the market. Regardless of having moisturizer or makeup on, it applies evenly and invisibly. The smell is a displeasing traditional sunscreen chemical smell.
The guarantee of 80 minutes of water resistance stands true. If you are not in the water, you can defer to the typical 2-hour application timeline.
We recommend this as a budget-friendly facial sunscreen product. However, we would not recommend this for everyday use. It is not environmentally friendly and has chemicals. Look for a natural mineral facial sunscreen for daily use.
