About this sunscreen
Country & Stream UV Face Powder SPF 50 is a pure mineral powder using Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, intended for touch-ups over makeup rather than primary protection. It gives a matte finish with a low white cast, does not sting, and stays lightweight. Pore-clogging risk is low and it sits okay over makeup. With a score of 49.0 and only weak measured protection in powder form, it is best used as a supplementary top-up layered over a proper base sunscreen.
