About this sunscreen
Mamaearth Body Lotion With Vitamin C And SPF 30 pairs skincare with a mixed filter set of Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide and older chemical filters, so it reads more as a moisturizer with added SPF. The mineral content tends to leave a visible white cast, and the texture feels medium and a bit heavier on the skin. It is a poor fit under makeup and is meant for body use. With good protection and a score of 67.2/100, it is a fine everyday body lotion rather than a dedicated face sunscreen.

Is the Mamaearth Body Lotion With Vitamin C And SPF 30 or a body lotion?
It is primarily a body lotion with added SPF 30. Protection is rated good, but the format and texture are meant for body skincare rather than a dedicated face sunscreen.
Does the Mamaearth Body Lotion With Vitamin C And SPF 30 leave a white cast?
Yes, white cast is more visible. It contains Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide alongside chemical filters, which commonly leave a cast.
Does it work under makeup?
Not well. Makeup compatibility is rated poor and the texture is medium and heavier, so it is better used on the body.
