Is Deoproce UV Defence Sun Cream mineral or chemical?
It is mainly a chemical sunscreen with a hybrid filter blend, including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, plus a touch of Titanium Dioxide. It is not a pure mineral formula.
Does the Deoproce UV Defence Sun Cream SPF SPF50+/pa+++ leave a white cast?
White cast is rated low, so it should wear clear on most skin tones. The mostly chemical filter base generally helps it absorb without a visible residue.
What SPF is it and is it any good?
It is SPF 50+/PA+++ with good protection and a score around 60 to 66/100. That makes it a dependable everyday high-SPF cream for daily wear.
