About this sunscreen
Natura Siberica Snow Cladonia Day Cream SPF 15 is a hybrid daily moisturizer that pairs Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate with modern filters like Tinosorb S and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. It has a balanced, lightweight feel with a low white cast, does not sting, and is low on the pore-clogging scale. Makeup layering is okay rather than ideal. The protection axis rates excellent and the overall score is 80.5/100, though the low SPF 15 suits everyday indoor wear more than long sun exposure.

Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is a hybrid formula. It uses chemical filters like Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Tinosorb S, without a separate mineral pigment, so it behaves much like a chemical sunscreen on the skin.
What SPF is the Snow Cladonia Day Cream?
It is SPF 15, which is a lower protection level suited to everyday indoor wear and short outdoor periods. For long sun exposure, a higher SPF is generally recommended.
Does the Natura Siberica Snow Cladonia Day Cream SPF 15 leave a white cast?
No, it is rated low for white cast and wears with a balanced, lightweight finish. Makeup compatibility is okay rather than ideal.
