About this sunscreen
Kimberly Sayer Anti-Oxidant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 is a pure mineral formula using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. It has a dewy finish and does not tend to sting, but as a pure mineral cream it carries a visible white cast and a heavier feel, and it is a poor base for makeup. Low pore-clogging risk keeps it gentle on the skin. With good protection but a more modest score, it is a moisturizing mineral option best for those who prioritize a hydrating, natural formula over a light, invisible wear.
