How a mineral sunscreen avoids white cast
Our white cast score reads the zinc and titanium load against any tint or iron-oxide pigment, since a tint is what lets a mineral formula match more skin tones.
Pairing mineral with no white cast surfaces the formulas that keep the gentleness of zinc without the chalky film, which is the usual reason people avoid mineral sunscreens.
Frequently asked questions
Can a mineral sunscreen really have no white cast?
Yes, tinted and well-dispersed mineral formulas can disappear on skin. Our score reads the mineral load against any tint so you can find the genuinely invisible ones.
Are tinted mineral sunscreens better for deeper skin tones?
Often, since the iron-oxide tint offsets the pale cast of zinc. We flag tinted formulas so deeper tones can filter to the ones that match.
