About this sunscreen
AestheticsRX Ultra-protection Sunscreen SPF 50+ is a pure mineral formula built on Zinc Oxide alone, a single broad-spectrum filter. The wear is balanced and it is generally non-stinging, which suits sensitive skin, but like many zinc sunscreens it tends to leave a more visible white cast and has a medium, slightly heavier feel. It works only okay under makeup. With moderate protection and a score of 69.8/100 it is a reasonable mineral option for those who prefer zinc over chemical filters.

Is the AestheticsRX Ultra-protection Sunscreen mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. It relies on Zinc Oxide alone as its single broad-spectrum UV filter, with no chemical filters.
Does the AestheticsRX Ultra-protection Sunscreen SPF 50+ leave a white cast?
It can. White cast is rated high, which is common for zinc-based mineral sunscreens. Darker skin tones may notice it more, so blend thoroughly.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
It is generally a reasonable choice. It is non-stinging and built on a single mineral filter, which sensitive-skin users often prefer. The feel is medium-weight rather than ultra-light.
