About this sunscreen
Hello Bello Face+Body Sunscreen Stick is a pure mineral sunscreen based on Zinc Oxide in stick form. It has a dewy finish but reads heavy on skin with a visible white cast, which is common for high-zinc stick formats, and it is a poor fit under makeup. Pore-clogging risk is low, so it can work for face and body when a quick mineral reapply is the priority. With moderate protection and a score of 61.1/100, it is a basic option best suited to casual outdoor use.
