About this sunscreen
Foxtale Ultramatte SPF 50 + Primer is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide that doubles as a makeup primer. It dries to a balanced finish with no visible white cast, feels lightweight, does not sting, and is generally low for clogging pores, so it suits oily and breakout-prone skin and works well under makeup. Despite the SPF 50 label the rating reads protection as moderate from the single zinc filter, and the score lands at 73.5/100. It is a comfortable mattifying mineral primer for everyday wear.
