About this sunscreen
Organic Harvest Oily Skin SPF 30 Sunscreen is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide alone. It has a balanced, lightweight finish with low white cast and does not commonly sting, and its low pore-clogging profile is friendly to oily, congestion-prone skin. However it scores 49 out of 100 with only weak UV protection, so it is generally better as a light layer than as your main sun defense.
