About this sunscreen
Beauty City Face & Body Sun Cream with Vitamin E SPF 90 is a pure mineral formula using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It finishes matte and does not sting, but it feels somewhat heavier on skin and can leave a medium chance of a faint cast, which is common for thicker mineral creams. The protection rating is good and it covers both face and body. Scoring 78.2, it is a solid everyday mineral choice that sits okay under makeup.
