Supporting ingredient
What SPF is NON SUN Ultra Block?
It is SPF 100, a very high SPF number. Rated protection is good, and the hybrid filter blend includes modern photostable filters.
Does the NON SUN SPF 100 Ultra Block leave a white cast?
No, it commonly leaves a low white cast. It is a chemical-led formula with a dewy finish and only a small amount of Titanium Dioxide.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
It is rated low for pore-clogging, which is generally favorable. The dewy finish leans hydrating, so very oily skin may prefer a more matte option.
