About this sunscreen
Ultra Violette Clean Screen SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide as its single UV filter. It keeps a low white cast for a mineral formula, has a balanced finish and does not sting, though it feels moderately rich on the skin. Zinc oxide is commonly favored for sensitive skin and broad-spectrum coverage. With moderate protection at SPF 30 and a mid-range overall rating, it suits lower-exposure days and gentle daily wear.

Is Ultra Violette Clean Screen mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. Zinc oxide is its only UV filter, which is commonly favored for sensitive skin and broad-spectrum coverage.
Does the Ultra Violette Clean Screen Spf 30 leave a white cast?
It keeps a low white cast for a mineral formula, with a balanced finish. As with any zinc-based product, blending it in well helps it disappear.
What SPF is it and is that enough?
It is SPF 30, which our system reads as moderate protection. That is generally suited to everyday and lower-exposure days rather than long, intense sun.
