About this sunscreen
Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen and Primer is a pure mineral SPF 30 built on Zinc Oxide. Being mineral, it carries a high white cast and a medium, slightly heavier feel, and it rates poorly as a makeup base. On the plus side it does not sting and is generally low for pore-clogging, which can suit sensitive skin. The overall score is 67.4/100 with moderate protection, best for those who prefer a mineral filter and can work around the cast.
