About this sunscreen
Minon UV Protection Milk is an SPF 50+ PA++++ pure mineral milk using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, geared toward sensitive skin. It finishes matte but shows a more visible white cast and a moderately heavy feel, both common with mineral filters. It does not sting and has low pore-clogging risk, and it layers okay under makeup. Protection is good and the score is 77.8/100, making it a gentle mineral daily option for those who tolerate some cast.
