About this sunscreen
DRMTLGY SPF Radiance Powder is a pure mineral sunscreen powder combining Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. It has a moderate, medium white cast and a balanced finish, but as a powder layer it commonly feels heavy when built up; it works okay over makeup for touch-ups. It is generally gentle and low risk for breakouts. Protection is rated good and the score is 77.7/100, a solid choice for reapplying sun protection during the day.
