About this sunscreen
Sidmool Min Jung Gi Physical Sun Block SPF 35 PA+++ is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It dries to a matte finish and stays lightweight, though as a mineral block it carries a medium white cast and sits okay under makeup. It does not commonly sting and is low on pore-clogging risk. Protection is good for the SPF 35 level, and the 83.1/100 score makes it a strong matte mineral option.
