About this sunscreen
SVR Sun Secure Ecran Mineral Teinte Dry Touch Cream is a tinted pure mineral SPF 50+ formula using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. The tint helps offset cast, so it tests with very low white cast and a balanced, dry-touch finish, though it feels slightly heavier than chemical fluids. It is gentle with low sting and low pore-clogging risk, and okay under makeup. With a strong 81.4/100 score and good protection, it is one of the better mineral picks here.
