About this sunscreen
Hello Sunday The Mineral One is a pure mineral sunscreen built on Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It has a balanced finish with a medium, noticeable white cast that is common for mineral formulas, plus a moderate weight on skin, and a low pore-clogging profile that is generally friendly for sensitive and breakout-prone skin. It does not commonly sting the eyes and works okay under makeup. With good protection and a score of 77.4/100, it is a solid mineral pick if you can accept some cast.
