About this sunscreen
Sonrei Kids Zinq Mineral Gel Sunscreen SPF 60 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its only UV filter, so it is chemical-free. It has a balanced finish but carries a medium white cast and a slightly heavier feel typical of zinc gels, and it works poorly as a makeup base. It does not sting and has low pore-clogging concern, which suits children. With moderate protection and a score of 69.8/100, it is a gentle mineral option for kids.
