Is Suntique I'm Medi mineral or chemical?
It is fully mineral. The SPF 50 formula uses zinc oxide as its only UV filter.
Does the Suntique I'm Medi SPF 50 leave a white cast?
White cast is medium. As a zinc oxide formula it can show some whiteness, though the matte lightweight finish helps it settle.
Is it good for oily skin?
It can suit oily skin. The matte finish and low pore-clogging risk help with shine, and it is non-stinging.
