About this sunscreen
KLM Ekran Soft Spf 50+ Silicone Sunscreen Gel is a hybrid formula that blends modern filters with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in a silicone gel base. It wears lightweight and does not sting, with a balanced finish, but the mineral filters push its white cast high, so it can look visible on deeper skin tones. It rates low for pore-clogging and works well under makeup. At 77/100 with excellent protection, it is a strong performer on UV defense, with the white cast the main trade-off to weigh.

Does KLM Ekran Soft leave a white cast?
White cast is rated high, mainly because the formula includes zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It can look visible on deeper skin tones, so it is worth keeping in mind before buying.
Is the KLM Ekran Soft Spf 50+ Silicone Sunscreen Gel good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It rates low for pore-clogging and wears lightweight, so it tends to suit oily and breakout-prone skin. It also works well under makeup.
Is this mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid sunscreen, blending modern chemical filters with mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. That mix gives strong protection but also drives the higher white cast.
