About this sunscreen
Alma Secret Day Cream With Pomegranate SPF 20 is a pure mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as its UV filters, in a day-cream format. It has a dewy finish and a lightweight feel and does not sting the eyes, though as a mineral formula it can leave a slight white cast. Pore-clogging risk is low. With a score of 69 out of 100 and only moderate protection at SPF 20, it suits drier skin seeking light daily coverage rather than strong sun defense.
