About this sunscreen
The Ohm Collection Sun Safe SPF 15 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide as its only filter, at a lower SPF 15. It has a dewy finish but can show a medium, visible white cast, and feels somewhat heavier on skin than lighter formulas. Breakout risk is rated medium and makeup-base performance is poor, though it does not commonly sting. Protection is rated moderate and the score is 56.0/100, so it is a light, low-intensity mineral option best reserved for limited sun exposure rather than long days outdoors.

Does The Ohm Collection Sun Safe SPF 15 leave a white cast?
It can. White cast is rated medium, which is common for pure mineral sunscreens built on Zinc Oxide, so you may notice some visible film.
Is the The Ohm Collection Sun Safe SPF 15 good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It is less ideal. It has a dewy finish and a medium breakout risk, which may not suit very oily or breakout-prone skin as well as a matte, low-risk option would.
Is The Ohm Collection Sun Safe SPF 15 a good sunscreen?
It scores 56.0/100 with moderate rated protection at a lower SPF 15. It is best reserved for limited, low-intensity sun exposure rather than long days outdoors.
