About this sunscreen
Hello Bello SPF 50 Sunscreen & Sunblock Mineral Lotion is a pure mineral formula using Zinc Oxide alone. It has a dewy finish, a medium chance of white cast, and feels a touch heavier than the lighter products in this set. It does not commonly sting and is low in pore-clogging risk, but it rates poorly under makeup. With a 67.7/100 score and moderate protection, it is a reasonable mineral option for those who prefer Zinc Oxide.
