About this sunscreen
DeVita Solar Protective Moisturizer is an all-mineral SPF 30+ moisturizer relying on zinc oxide alone. It gives a balanced finish but white cast is high and the feel is moderately heavy, both typical of a higher-percentage zinc formula. It does not commonly sting and is generally low in pore-clogging risk, with okay makeup compatibility. With a score of 69.5 and moderate protection, it suits those who specifically want a pure mineral cream and can work past the cast.
