About this sunscreen
Kinfield Daily Dew SPF 35 is a pure mineral sunscreen that relies solely on Zinc Oxide for broad-spectrum protection. As an all-mineral formula it carries a moderate white cast and a somewhat heavier feel with a balanced finish, which makes it less ideal as a base under makeup. It is gentle and non-stinging and generally low risk for breakouts. With moderate protection and a score of 66.8/100, it is a clean-leaning mineral option for those who do not mind a slight cast.
