About this sunscreen
MooGoo Anti-Ageing SPF 15 Face Cream is a mineral face cream using zinc oxide as its only UV filter. It has a dewy finish but can leave a moderate white cast and feel moderately heavy, and it is generally low in sting and pore-clogging risk while performing poorly as a makeup base. The low SPF and single mineral filter cap it at moderate measured protection. With a score of 69.1 out of 100, it is more of a light-coverage daily moisturizer than a dedicated sunscreen.

It is a fully mineral formula, using zinc oxide as its only UV filter. There are no chemical filters in it.
Is the MooGoo Anti-Ageing Spf 15 Face Cream good for sun protection?
