About this sunscreen
Bema Cosmetici Solar-Tea Sonnencreme SPF 50 is a pure mineral sunscreen relying on Zinc Oxide. It wears with a dewy finish and a medium, richer feel typical of zinc creams, with a moderate white cast. It is rated poor as a makeup base, so it generally works best on its own, but it does not sting and pore-clogging risk is low. With a score of 64.9 and moderate protection, it is a gentle mineral choice for those who prefer a single filter.
