About this sunscreen
THE LAB by blanc doux Green Flavonoid 2.0 Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ is a mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide as its single UV filter. It has a matte finish, wears lightweight and is generally unlikely to sting, with a medium chance of leaving some white cast, which is common for mineral formulas. The low breakout trigger suits most skin, while the makeup-base fit is okay. With a score of 72.1 and protection rated moderate, it is a decent everyday mineral option rather than a top performer.
