About this sunscreen
C-K-D Green Propolis All Mild Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ is a mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its sole UV filter. It dries to a matte finish, stays lightweight, and is low on pore-clogging, though it can show a medium level of white cast typical of zinc. It generally does not sting and works okay as a makeup base. With a score of 71 and moderate protection, it is a solid mattifying mineral pick for those who do not mind some cast.

Does the C-K-D Green Propolis All Mild Sun SPF 50+ Pa++++ leave a white cast?
It can show some. White cast is rated medium, which is typical of a Zinc Oxide mineral formula, so it may need blending on deeper skin tones.
Is the C-K-D Green Propolis All Mild Sun SPF 50+ Pa++++ good for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, generally. It dries to a matte finish and is low on pore-clogging, so it commonly suits oily and breakout-prone skin.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is mineral. Zinc Oxide is the only UV filter, with no chemical filters.
