About this sunscreen
Bondi Sands Sunny Daze SPF 50 Moisturiser is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide in a daily moisturiser format. It carries a balanced finish but can leave a visible white cast and feels somewhat heavier on the skin, both common traits of mineral formulas. It does not commonly sting and is generally low risk for clogging pores. With moderate protection and a 69.7/100 score, it is a reasonable mineral moisturiser, though the white cast and weight are worth considering.
