Does FCL Fixderma SPF 80 leave a white cast?
White cast is rated low, so it should wear fairly clear despite a small amount of titanium dioxide. The finish is balanced and lightweight. Note it may sting sensitive eyes a little more than average.
What SPF is FCL Fixderma?
It is labeled SPF 80, a very high SPF figure. Our system rates its measured protection as good. The filter blend is hybrid and a bit dated.
Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is mostly chemical, blending a cinnamate and avobenzone with oxybenzone, plus titanium dioxide. It is not mineral-only. It scores 62/100.
