Updated August 25, 2026
20.4% zinc oxide offers matte, non-greasy broad-spectrum UV protection; slightly sticky feel.
What the community says
This mineral facial sunscreen uses 20.4% zinc oxide to provide broad UVA/UVB protection with a matte finish favored for oily and sensitive skin types. It's fragrance- and alcohol-free, so it soothes rosacea and redness well. The main drawback is a slightly sticky texture that may bother some users, especially under makeup.
