13% zinc oxide mineral SPF 30 calms redness with a matte, tinted finish.

What the community says

A 13% zinc oxide mineral SPF 30 with a cool pink tint, matte finish, and antioxidant support suits oily, redness-prone users who hate greasy sunscreen. It runs drying, offers one shade, and needs a tougher sunscreen for swimming.
