About this sunscreen

innisfree Oat Mild Moisture Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++ is a pure mineral formula combining zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with oat for a soothing feel. It has a balanced finish and a non-stinging, low pore-clogging profile, though the two physical filters can leave a high white cast and a moderately heavy feel. Protection is rated good, and the overall score is about 78 out of 100. It is generally a gentle mineral pick, with white cast being the main consideration.
