Does StriVectin Full Screen Mineral Vanishing Tint leave a white cast?
No, the white cast is low. The sheer tint is designed to vanish into skin, so it avoids the pale film common to mineral formulas.
Is the StriVectin Full Screen Spf 30 100% Mineral Vanishing Tint mineral or chemical?
It is 100% mineral. It uses Zinc Oxide as its single filter.
Is StriVectin Full Screen SPF 30 any good?
It scores 69.2/100. Protection is moderate for SPF 30, but the finish is lightweight and comfortable and it does not commonly sting, making it a solid single-filter mineral pick.
