About this sunscreen
Arugot Organic Facial Sun Cream SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its only UV filter. It has a dewy finish and a lightweight feel, does not commonly sting, and carries a low breakout risk, though as a mineral formula it can leave a medium, visible white cast. It sits okay under makeup but the dewy, slightly cast-prone wear suits relaxed daily use more than a flawless base. Protection is rated moderate and the score is 70.7/100, so it is a gentle mineral choice best for lower-intensity sun exposure.
