About this sunscreen
DRMTLGY Matte Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 is a chemical-leaning formula pairing Zinc Oxide with Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate. The tint gives a matte finish with little to no white cast, it stays lightweight, is generally non-stinging and works well under or as makeup. Its protection is rated weak, and the 49.0/100 score reflects that, so treat it as a cosmetic tinted layer rather than primary sun defense.
