About this sunscreen
Uriage Water Cream Tinter Compact SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in a tinted compact. It sets to a matte finish with no visible white cast thanks to the tint, does not sting, and is generally low for clogging pores, though the mineral base feels a touch heavier on skin. SPF 30 gives good protection. The score of 77.6/100 makes it a tidy, portable mineral option for touch-ups and lighter coverage.
