About this sunscreen
Mad Hippie Facial Spf 30+ Sunscreen is a pure mineral formula using Zinc Oxide for broad-spectrum defense. It has a dewy finish but tends to leave a visible white cast and feels heavier on the skin, which is common for higher-percentage zinc formulas. Pore-clogging risk is low and it does not commonly sting, but it is a poor makeup base. With moderate protection and a score of 66.0/100, it fits those committed to mineral sunscreen who can work past the cast and weight.
