About this sunscreen
Raw Elements Face + Body Tin is a broad-spectrum SPF 30 mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide. As a pure mineral balm it tends toward a visible white cast and a heavier, dewy finish, and it is not an ideal makeup base. It does not commonly sting and has a low pore-clogging profile that is generally friendly to blemish-prone skin. With a score of 64.2 and moderate protection, it suits those who want a simple zinc formula and do not mind a richer, more visible feel.

Does Raw Elements Face + Body Tin leave a white cast?
White cast is rated high because it is a pure mineral balm built on zinc oxide. Mineral filters commonly leave a visible cast, and the dewy, richer texture can make it more noticeable. Thorough blending helps reduce the effect.
Is the Raw Elements Face + Body Tin Spf 30 mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen, with zinc oxide as the only listed filter. That makes it a good fit for people who prefer mineral formulas. The trade-off is a heavier feel and visible cast.
Is it good under makeup?
It is rated a poor makeup base, with a heavier, dewy finish that does not layer well under foundation. It is better suited to standalone face and body use. It does not commonly sting, which helps for broad application.
