About this sunscreen

Green People Tinted DD Cream SPF 15 is a tinted mineral product protected by Titanium Dioxide alone. It has a dewy finish, wears lightweight with a low white cast and carries low breakout risk, so it is gentle for everyday wear. Sun protection is weak, since SPF 15 from a single mineral filter offers only light coverage. The score of 49.0/100 places it as a light cosmetic tint rather than a serious sunscreen, best paired with stronger SPF when out longer.
