About this sunscreen

Raw Elements Tinted Face Moisturizer SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide alone. The tint helps keep white cast low and the finish is dewy, though the formula feels heavy on skin and rates poor as a makeup base. It does not commonly sting and has low pore-clogging potential. Protection is moderate at SPF 30. The score of 67.1 is reasonable for a tinted mineral moisturizer.
