About this sunscreen
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream is a mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its only UV filter. It dries to a matte, lightweight finish and is low on pore-clogging, and it generally does not sting, though it can show a medium level of white cast typical of zinc. It works okay under makeup. With a score of 71 and moderate protection, it is a hydrating mineral option for those who do not mind some cast.

Does the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream leave a white cast?
It can show some. White cast is rated medium, which is typical of a Zinc Oxide mineral formula, so blend it in on deeper skin tones.
Is the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream mineral or chemical?
It is mineral. Zinc Oxide is the only UV filter, with no chemical filters.
Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, generally. It has a matte, lightweight finish and is low on pore-clogging, so it commonly suits oily and breakout-prone skin.
