About this sunscreen
Bare Republic Tinted Sunscreen is an SPF 30 mineral formula using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, with a tint that helps offset white cast. It wears with a balanced finish and works well under makeup, keeps a low white cast and a low sting and pore-clogging risk, but can feel moderately heavy on the skin. The mineral pair gives good measured protection. With a score of 82.5 out of 100, it is a strong tinted mineral option for sensitive, breakout-prone skin.
