Does Bubbly Skin Hello Sunshine Tinted Sunscreen leave a white cast?
White cast is rated low, helped by the tint and the balanced finish. It wears lightweight and is unlikely to sting, and it works okay under makeup. The tint can help it blend on a range of skin tones.
What SPF is the Bubbly Skin Hello Sunshine Tinted Sunscreen SPF 30 and is it good?
It is labeled SPF 30, but our system rates its measured protection as weak and scores it 49/100. It may work better as a light tinted layer than as standalone sun defense. Pair it with other protection for longer exposure.
Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is a mix of chemical and mineral, combining a UVB cinnamate with titanium dioxide. It is not a mineral-only formula. The blend is on the older side.
