About this sunscreen
SAIE Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 is a pure mineral, Zinc Oxide sunscreen with a glowy tinted finish. The dewy formula has very little white cast, helped by the tint, does not sting, and is acne-friendly with a low pore-clogging profile, though it feels medium in weight rather than featherlight. It performs okay as a makeup base and reads more like a skin-perfecting moisturizer than a full-coverage product. At 72.1/100 with moderate protection, it is a pleasant everyday mineral option for those who want light coverage and a natural glow.

Does SAIE Slip Tint SPF 35 leave a white cast?
No, white cast is low. Although it uses Zinc Oxide, the tint helps it blend into skin without the chalky look that plain mineral formulas can have.
Is the SAIE Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 Sunscreen good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It has a low pore-clogging profile, so it is generally acne-friendly. The finish is dewy rather than matte, so oily skin that prefers a flat look may want to set it with powder.
Is SAIE Slip Tint a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. The only UV filter is Zinc Oxide.
Is SAIE Slip Tint SPF 35 any good?
It scores 72.1 out of 100 with moderate protection. It is a pleasant tinted mineral moisturizer for light, glowy daily coverage rather than heavy-duty sun defense.
