About this sunscreen
Erin's Faces Peptide SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen built on Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. It has a balanced, lightweight finish and does not sting, though as a mineral formula it carries a medium, sometimes noticeable white cast. Pore-clogging risk is low, but it is rated poor as a makeup base, so it is generally better worn on its own than layered under foundation. With good rated protection and a high score of 80.4, it is a strong mineral SPF 30 for those avoiding chemical filters.
