Product Information
Full details
This mineral sunscreen is designed for women seeking daily facial protection. Its key benefit is providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defense while intensely moisturizing and supporting the skin's natural functions without a greasy feel or clogged pores. A potential consideration is its mineral-based formulation, which may leave a white cast on some skin tones.
