About this sunscreen
Soraya Sun & Beauty Coconut And Nuts Waterproof Sun Oil is a low SPF 10 chemical sun oil built on Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. It has a dewy, oil-based finish with little white cast and is unlikely to sting, though as an oil it is not a good makeup base. SPF 10 offers only moderate, low-level protection and suits tanning more than daily defense. The 60.9/100 score reflects that limited SPF, so it is generally a niche pick rather than an everyday sunscreen.

Is Soraya Coconut And Nuts Sun Oil mineral or chemical?
It is a chemical sunscreen. The oil uses Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, with no mineral zinc or titanium filters.
What SPF is the Soraya Sun & Beauty Coconut And Nuts Waterproof Sun Oil SPF 10, and is that enough?
It is SPF 10, which provides only moderate, low-level protection. That is generally aimed at tanning rather than full daily sun defense, so it suits brief or low-sun exposure more than long days outdoors.
Does it leave a white cast?
No, it has low white cast. As a dewy oil it absorbs into skin without a mineral residue, though that oily finish makes it a poor base under makeup.
