About this sunscreen
Lumi derma SPF 30 Sunscreen is a pure mineral formula combining zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It has a balanced finish but a visible white cast, sits heavier on the skin, and works poorly as a makeup base, though it is low on the pore-clogging scale. With good rated protection and a score of 73.8 out of 100, it suits those who prioritise mineral filters and do not mind a heavier, more visible layer.
