About this sunscreen
Kinfield Cloud Cover Mineral Body Sunscreen Lotion SPF 35 is a mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its only filter. It has a balanced finish and is non-stinging, but as a pure mineral body lotion it can show a moderate white cast and feels somewhat heavier on the skin. Breakout risk is generally low and it sits okay under makeup. With moderate protection and a score of 70.3/100, it is a reasonable mineral choice for body use.
