About this sunscreen
i + m naturkosmetik berlin Sun Protect Sun Lotion Spf 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It wears with a balanced finish and does not sting, staying lightweight on skin, but the all-mineral filter set leaves a high white cast that is common with this category. Pore-clogging potential is low and it sits okay under makeup. With good protection and a score of 74.9/100, it is a clean-formula option for those who prioritise mineral filters over a cast-free finish.
