About this sunscreen
Supergoop! Sunnyscreen 100% Mineral Lotion is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, a combination often chosen for sensitive and reactive skin. It does not commonly sting, but the mineral base tends to leave a visible white cast and a heavier feel on the skin. It is a poor fit under makeup and sits better as a standalone layer. With good protection and a score of 74.7/100, it is a reasonable mineral pick where a cast and richer texture are acceptable.

Does the Supergoop! Sunnyscreen™ 100% Mineral Lotion leave a white cast?
Yes, white cast is more visible here. It is a 100% mineral formula with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which commonly leave a noticeable cast on the skin.
Is the Supergoop! Sunnyscreen™ 100% Mineral Lotion mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen, using only Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. That choice is often preferred for sensitive skin.
Does it work under makeup?
Not really. Makeup compatibility is rated poor and the texture feels heavier, so it sits better as a standalone layer than under foundation.
