About this sunscreen
Skinfood Berry Soothing Sun Cream is a pure mineral sunscreen based on Zinc Oxide, aimed at calmer, soothing wear. It dries down to a matte finish and stays lightweight, with a medium chance of white cast typical of mineral formulas. Pore-clogging risk is low and it generally does not sting, so it suits sensitive skin. Protection is moderate and the score lands at 70/100, a reasonable mineral pick for everyday use.
