About this sunscreen
Attitude Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide, in a twist-up stick. It does not commonly sting and has a low pore-clogging profile, but it wears with some weight and a dewy finish, can leave a moderate white cast, and does not layer well under makeup. With moderate protection and a score of 69.7/100, it is a handy mineral stick best for quick reapplication rather than a full daily base.

Is this mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen, using zinc oxide as its only UV filter in a twist-up stick.
Does the Attitude Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 30 leave a white cast?
It can leave a moderate white cast, which is typical of zinc sticks and may show more on deeper skin tones.
Does the Attitude Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 30 work under makeup?
Not well. It wears with some weight and a dewy finish and does not layer smoothly under makeup, so it is best for reapplication on the go.
