About this sunscreen
Supergoop! (Glow)Setting Powder 100% Mineral SPF 35 is a pure mineral powder using both Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It sets with a matte finish and is designed to layer over makeup, though as an all-mineral product it can leave a medium white cast and feels heavier than a lotion. It is non-stinging and low on the pore-clogging scale. Protection rates moderate and the overall score is 72.1/100. A powder generally works best as a touch-up rather than primary protection.
