The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen SPF 60 is a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen designed to shield your skin from the sun while wearing makeup.

Key benefits
- Fast-absorbing, lightweight formula that feels non-greasy on the skin.

- Non-comedogenic—designed not to clog pores for a clearer complexion.
- Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, supporting active days outdoors.

Active ingredients and what they do
- Homosalate 15% — a chemical sunscreen agent that absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
- Octocrylene 10% — stabilizes the sunscreen and provides broad spectrum coverage.
- Octisalate 5% — contributes to UVB protection and product stability.
- Avobenzone 3% — broad spectrum coverage against UVA rays.
- All ingredients work together to create a photostable shield against both UVA and UVB rays while remaining gentle on the skin. The oxybenzone-free formula avoids a certain class of fragrance concerns some users have with traditional sunscreens.
