Mineral SPF 50 that stays matte and vanishes better than most zinc sunscreens.

What the community says

A titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreen with a thinner, slightly mattifying finish. It suits people who want mineral protection without the usual greasy zinc feel. Expect some pilling, dryness, and a real white-cast gamble.
