Does Dermodality Sun Moist SPF 30 leave a white cast?
White cast is low for a mineral sunscreen. It combines Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide yet wears with a matte, low-cast finish.
Is the Dermodality Skin Solutions Sun Moist SPF 30 Sun Block good for oily skin?
It is a reasonable fit. The finish is matte and the formula rates low for pore-clogging, so it commonly works for oily and combination skin.
Is the Dermodality Skin Solutions Sun Moist SPF 30 Sun Block mineral or chemical?
It is fully mineral. The UV filters are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide.
