About this sunscreen
MYGLAMM Kiwi And Coconut Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++ is a chemical sunscreen built on an older-generation filter set of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Avobenzone. It keeps a balanced finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and it generally sits well under makeup, though it can sting if it migrates toward the eyes. With a score of 61.2/100 and only moderate protection, it is a passable everyday option rather than a standout.

Does MYGLAMM Kiwi And Coconut Sunscreen leave a white cast?
No, white cast is generally not an issue here. The formula rates low on white cast with a balanced finish, so it tends to blend into skin without leaving a noticeable layer.
Is the MYGLAMM Kiwi And Coconut Sunscreen SPF 30 Pa +++ mineral or chemical?
It is a chemical sunscreen. It uses an older-generation filter set of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Avobenzone, with no mineral filters.
Is it good for makeup and oily skin?
It is generally a good base under makeup and has a balanced, lightweight feel with low pore-clogging risk. Note that it can sting if it migrates toward the eyes, so keep it away from that area.
