About this sunscreen
Sonrei Clearly Zinq Mineral Gel Sunscreen SPF 60 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide alone in a gel base. It does not sting and is generally low for clogging pores, but it can leave a medium white cast and feels somewhat heavier on skin, and it is a weaker choice under makeup. Despite the SPF 60 label the rating reads protection as moderate, and the score lands at 69.8/100. It suits those who want a single-filter zinc gel and do not mind some cast.
