You need a dedicated facial SPF. An SPF 15 body oil isn't a substitute for a broad-spectrum facial sunscreen, and the coconut oil base is heavier than most face-specific formulas.

Frequently asked questions
Can the SPF 15 replace my facial sunscreen?
No. It's formulated and marketed as a body oil with SPF, not a facial sunscreen, so a dedicated, broad-spectrum sunscreen is still the better choice for your face.
What does the green coffee extract do?
It's included alongside the coconut oil base and vitamin E as part of Palmer's replenishing and rejuvenating formula for the look of skin, though the listing doesn't break out its individual contribution.
Is this scented?
Yes, it carries a coconut scent, so it's not a fragrance-free option.
