About this sunscreen
Omorovicza UV Mineral Shield SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen built on Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It is generally non-stinging and low on pore-clogging risk with a balanced finish, but it can leave a visible white cast, feels a touch heavier on skin, and is a poor makeup base. With a score of 72.6/100 and good protection, it is a reliable mineral shield best suited to those who do not mind a possible cast.

Does Omorovicza UV Mineral Shield SPF 30 leave a white cast?
It can leave a visible white cast. With Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, the cast is rated high, so it may be noticeable, particularly on deeper skin tones.
Is the Omorovicza Uv Mineral Shield Spf 30 mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. The UV filters are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, with no chemical filters.
Does it work under makeup?
It rates poorly as a makeup base. The visible cast and heavier feel mean it commonly layers less smoothly under foundation than lighter formulas.
