About this sunscreen
Bioderma Photoderm Nude Touch SPF 50+ Teinte Doree is a tinted pure mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It dries to a matte finish and keeps white cast low thanks to its tint, though it feels a touch heavier at a medium weight. It does not sting, is low for pore-clogging, and works well under or in place of makeup. Protection is rated good, and a strong score of 80.3 makes it a flattering, shine-controlling mineral option for daily wear.

Does Bioderma Photoderm Nude Touch leave a white cast?
White cast is rated low, largely thanks to its golden tint, which offsets the usual cast of a mineral formula. It dries to a matte finish that also helps it read evenly on skin.
Is the Bioderma Photoderm Nude Touch SPF 50+ Teinte Dorée good for oily skin and under makeup?
It is generally a good fit. The matte finish controls shine and it works well under or in place of makeup, though it feels a touch heavier at a medium weight. It is rated low for pore-clogging and does not sting.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a tinted pure mineral sunscreen, using only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
