About this sunscreen
Green People For Men No.4 Sports+ SPF30 Sun Cream is a pure mineral SPF 30 using zinc oxide as its only UV filter. It wears to a dewy finish but feels heavy on skin, can leave a visible white cast, and is poor under makeup, though it is generally non-stinging with low pore-clogging risk. Rated protection lands at moderate. With a score of 66.2/100, it is a mineral sports option best suited to those who do not mind a heavier, more visible feel.

Does the Green People For Men No.4 Sports+ SPF30 Sun Cream leave a white cast?
White cast is rated medium, so it can leave some visible residue. As a pure zinc oxide formula, that is common for mineral sunscreens.
Is this mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. Zinc oxide is its only UV filter.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Makeup compatibility is rated poor. It feels heavy on skin with a dewy finish, so it is better worn on its own than as a makeup base.
