About this sunscreen
Brillare Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for good protection. It dries to a matte finish and does not sting, with a generally low pore-clogging risk. Expect a medium white cast and a somewhat heavier feel, both common with mineral filters at SPF 50. Its above-average score reflects solid mineral protection for those who accept a little cast and weight.

Does Brillare Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 leave a white cast?
Expect a medium white cast. It uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and mineral filters at SPF 50 commonly leave some white tone.
Is the Brillare Natural Mineral Sunscreen Spf 50 mineral or chemical?
It is fully mineral, using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with no chemical filters.
Is it good for oily skin?
The finish is matte and the pore-clogging risk is generally low, which helps oily skin, though it feels somewhat heavier than a lightweight chemical sunscreen.
