About this sunscreen
Greenberry SPF 50+ Sunscreen Gel with aloe vera, cucumber and neroli is a pure mineral formula using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It has a dewy finish but a high, visible white cast and a medium, somewhat heavier feel, though it does not sting. Pore-clogging risk is low, but it works poorly as a makeup base. Good protection and a score of 75.9/100 make it a reasonable mineral gel for those who do not mind the cast and prefer a dewy look.
