About this sunscreen
Holika Holika Make Up Sun Cream Matte Tone Up is a pure mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, designed as a tone-up base with a matte finish. Being mineral and tone-up, it can leave a more visible cast, and it feels a touch heavier on skin while staying low on stinging and pore-clogging risk. It can work okay under makeup. With good protection and a score of 74 out of 100, it is a solid choice for those who like a matte, mattifying mineral base.

It can work well for oily and acne-prone skin. It has a matte finish and low pore-clogging risk, though it feels a bit heavier than some lightweight options.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen, using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its UV filters.
