Formulation view Alcohol-based non-water sunscreen uses denatured ethanol as the primary solvent for a dry finish. Chemical filters include octocrylene and Tinosorb S. Film-forming polymers enhance longevity. Best for oily skin and sports. Factory note: high ethanol concentration may compromise the barrier, caution for dry skin; octocrylene has eco-toxicity concerns, and complex fragrances require strict sensitization assessment.
