Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Lotion - Travel Size - 3 oz

The reason to buy this one is behavioral. It rubs in without a white cast and does not feel like paint on your face, so people actually reapply it, and reapplication matters far more than the number on the bottle. Broad-spectrum SPF 50, 80 minutes of water resistance, no oxybenzone or octinoxate, in an inexpensive 3-ounce carry-on-legal bottle. Know the limits. These are chemical filters, and when sweat carries them into your eyes on a hot climb they sting badly; a zinc stick is the better choice for forehead and nose. Water resistance rated at 80 minutes means reapplying roughly every two hours of sweating, so 3 ounces is a face-and-hands supply, not enough for full-body coverage on a long trip. It is also strongly fragranced, which means it belongs in the food bag with your other scented items in bear country.
