About this sunscreen
Minic Carezone Daily & Family Sun Care Cream uses mineral Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide alongside the older chemical filter Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid. The finish is balanced and it generally does not sting, but it tends to leave a visible white cast and lean toward a heavier, more masking feel. Breakout concerns are low and it works okay under makeup. With good protection and a 76.0/100 score, it is a decent family option if you do not mind some cast.
