About this sunscreen
Isa Knox Anew Solaire Everyday Mineral Sunscreen 50 SPF is a pure mineral sunscreen relying solely on Zinc Oxide for broad-spectrum cover. The balanced finish carries some medium white cast but feels lightweight and non-stinging, with a low pore-clogging profile, and it sits okay under makeup. With moderate rated protection and a score of 72.1, it is a decent everyday mineral choice for those who prefer zinc-only formulas.
