Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50

Shake well, then wait 15 minutes. The Canadian Coppertone page rates this Sport lotion SPF 50 and says the sweat and water hold lasts 80 minutes.

It is sold for face and body. The active filters are homosalate at 10%, octocrylene at 8%, octisalate at 4.5%, and avobenzone at 3%. The same page says it leaves out oxybenzone, octinoxate, PABA, and dyes.
