Does TRUE BOTANICALS Everyday Skin Tint leave a white cast?

White cast is low. It is a tinted mineral formula, so the color helps offset the white residue that zinc and titanium can otherwise leave.

Is the TRUE BOTANICALS Everyday Skin Tint SPF 30 good for oily or acne-prone skin?

It has a low pore-clogging profile, so it is generally friendly for breakout-prone skin. The finish is dewy rather than matte, so very oily skin may prefer a more mattifying option.

Is it mineral or chemical?

It is fully mineral, using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. That makes it a common pick for those who prefer mineral filters or have sensitive skin.
