Is Sisley Phyto-Blanc mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral formula, using titanium dioxide as its only UV filter. It carries a low sting risk and layers fine under makeup.
Is the Sisley Phyto-Blanc Le Soin Correcting Brightening Moisturizer Multi-Defense Shield SPF 50+ Pa+++ a good sunscreen?
Its protection is rated weak, which keeps the overall score modest. It works as a mineral brightening moisturizer but is generally not the strongest pick for sun defense.
Does it leave a white cast?
White cast is rated low, so it generally does not leave a heavy film despite being mineral. The finish is balanced and lightweight.
