About this sunscreen
Blissoma Photonic is a pure mineral facial sunscreen and moisturizer with SPF 25 from zinc oxide. It has a balanced finish, low white cast, and a lightweight feel, and it is low in pore-clogging risk. Protection is rated weak, largely due to the modest SPF 25 from a single mineral filter, which caps its score at 49. It may suit those wanting a gentle, natural-leaning moisturizer with light sun defense.
