About this sunscreen
Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen built on older-generation UV filters including avobenzone, octinoxate, and octisalate. It leaves a dewy finish, sits lightweight on skin, and shows low white cast, with a low pore-clogging profile that is generally agreeable for most skin types. Sweat resistance is moderate, so it may sting eyes during heavy activity. With a score of 58.5 and only moderate protection, it is a passable everyday pick rather than a standout sport option.

Is the Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen Spf 30 mineral or chemical?
This is a chemical sunscreen. It uses older-generation UV filters including avobenzone, octinoxate, and octisalate rather than mineral zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Does the Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen Spf 30 leave a white cast?
White cast is commonly low, so it tends to wear clear on most skin tones. The finish is dewy, giving a fresh, hydrated look rather than a flat matte.
Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It carries a low pore-clogging profile, which is generally agreeable for acne-prone skin. The dewy finish leans more toward normal and dry skin, so very oily skin may prefer a matte option.
