Does Innsaei Lightweight UV Suncream leave a white cast?

No, white cast is rated low. Although it includes Titanium Dioxide, it is mostly chemical, pairing it with Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Avobenzone, so it wears lightweight.

Is the Innsaei Lightweight UV Suncream mineral or chemical?

It is primarily a chemical sunscreen with some Titanium Dioxide, so it is a mostly-chemical formula rather than a pure mineral one.

Is Innsaei Lightweight UV Suncream any good?

It scores 56.6/100 with moderate protection, held back partly by an older filter set. It is a basic lightweight option, and its exact SPF is not listed here.
