Is Dr.Rashel Whitening Moisturizing Sun Cream a good sunscreen?
It is a weaker choice for sun defense. Despite the SPF 75 label, its measured protection is weak and it scores 49.0/100, so it is best treated as a light cream rather than a reliable sunscreen.
Does the Dr.Rashel Whitening Moisturizing Sun Cream SPF 75 leave a white cast?
No, it leaves low white cast and has a dewy finish that does not sting. The tradeoff is that it works poorly as a makeup base.
Is this sunscreen mineral or chemical?
It is mostly chemical with an older-school filter mix, including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Octocrylene, alongside some Titanium Dioxide.
