About this sunscreen
Solmirage Suncare Solserum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 is a pure mineral sunscreen filtered entirely with Zinc Oxide. It keeps white cast low and finishes balanced, though the texture sits a touch heavier than the lightest formulas, which is common for zinc-only sunscreens. Breakout-trigger is low, so it generally suits sensitive and blemish-prone skin. The score of 70.0 out of 100 reflects moderate protection from its single-filter design, and it is an okay base under makeup.
