Mineral SPF 50+ sunscreen with matte finish and subtle tone-up; white cast risk.

What the community says

This mineral SPF 50+ sunscreen has a matte, powdery dry-down popular with oily skin types. It suits sensitive and rosacea-prone users seeking a non-greasy, quick-absorbing mineral option. The main trade-off is its sometimes-tacky feel and subtle white cast.
