Is Suntribe All Natural Zinc mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen, using Zinc Oxide as its only filter. That makes it a natural, gentle SPF 30 choice.
Does the Suntribe All Natural Zinc Sunscreen Face & Sport SPF 30 leave a white cast?
Its white cast is rated low for a mineral formula, so it generally stays fairly subtle. It wears with a dewy finish.
Does it work under makeup?
It is rated poor as a makeup base and feels heavier on skin, so it suits face and sport use on its own rather than layering under makeup.
