About this sunscreen
eyeNlip Pure Perfection Natural Sun Cream is a sunscreen that mixes mineral titanium dioxide and zinc oxide with older chemical filters including ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor. It has a balanced finish and stays lightweight, but its white cast is rated high, so it can leave a visible film, especially on deeper skin tones. It does not sting and is low for pore-clogging, with okay makeup compatibility. Protection is rated excellent, though the dated filters and a score of 63.9 place it mid-pack.

Is the eyeNlip Pure Perfection Natural Sun Cream good for acne-prone skin?
It is generally tolerable for breakout-prone skin. It is rated low for pore-clogging and does not sting, with a balanced, lightweight finish.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid using older filters, mixing mineral titanium dioxide and zinc oxide with chemical filters like ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate.
