About this sunscreen
Illiyoon Mineral Sun Cream SPF 50+ is a pure mineral sunscreen combining zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It has a matte finish but can leave a visible white cast and feels somewhat heavier, though it does not commonly sting. Its low pore-clogging profile is generally friendly to most skin. Scoring 74.9 out of 100 with good protection, it is a solid mineral choice for those who do not mind some cast.
