Product details

SPF50+ + centella

A light green, chemical-filter sun cream with niacinamide and centella that wears without a white cast.

Benton’s Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream protects at SPF50+ PA++++ with modern chemical filters, then adds niacinamide and a centella complex for brightening and calm. Benton calls it triple-function: brightening, wrinkle care and UV protection. The light green cream spreads thin, leaves no white cast and is scented only with rosemary oil.
