About this sunscreen
Heynature Erseongcho Daily Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ is a pure mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It finishes matte but, as an all-mineral formula, tends to leave a visible white cast and feels somewhat heavier on the skin. It does not tend to sting and is generally low pore-clogging. The score of 77.2 with good protection makes it a solid matte mineral pick for those who do not mind some cast.
