About this sunscreen
Trego Sunscreen SPF 50 is a pure mineral sunscreen using Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. It wears with a balanced finish but feels heavier and leaves a visible white cast, which is common for higher-protection mineral lotions. It is gentle on the eyes and low in pore-clogging potential, with an okay makeup base. Protection is rated good, and with a score of 74.5/100 it is a decent mineral pick for those who do not mind some cast.
