About this sunscreen
Supergoop! Play! 100% Mineral SPF Stick is a fully mineral Zinc Oxide stick. As a thick mineral format it leaves a visible white cast and a somewhat heavier feel, but it is unlikely to sting and has low pore-clogging risk. Protection lands at a moderate level and it is a poor base under makeup. The 65.2/100 score reflects the white cast and heavier wear, so it is generally better for body and touch-ups than for the face under makeup.

Does the Supergoop! Play! Mineral Stick leave a white cast?
Yes, expect a visible white cast. It is an all-zinc mineral stick, and the thick stick format tends to sit on top of skin with a heavier feel.
Is the Supergoop! Play! 100% Mineral SPF Stick good for acne-prone skin?
It has low pore-clogging risk, so it is generally fine for breakout-prone skin. However, it is a poor base under makeup, so it works best on bare skin or for touch-ups.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is 100% mineral, using Zinc Oxide. That suits those who want a purely mineral sunscreen for face or body.
