About this sunscreen
Green Finger Forest Mild Calming Sun Cream is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide as its only UV filter. It finishes matte and does not sting, which suits sensitive or reactive skin, though it carries a medium white cast and a medium weight on skin that are common with all-zinc formulas. It is low on pore-clogging potential and works okay as a makeup base. With moderate protection and a score of 66.9/100, it is a gentle option best for lower-exposure daily use.
