About this sunscreen
Suntribe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide alone. It has a dewy finish and does not commonly sting, but as a single-filter zinc formula it can leave a moderate white cast and feels heavier on skin. It is a poor base under makeup and has a higher pore-clogging profile, so it may not suit oily or acne-prone skin. Protection is moderate at SPF 30, and the score of 58.8/100 reflects those trade-offs.
