It's a mineral sunscreen that I've heard a lot about. Its uniqueness is that it contains a green tint that should neutralize redness (contrasting colors).
It contains 17.53% zinc, SPF30.
Usually the main problem with mineral sunscreens is that they leave a noticeable white cast, but in this case there is only a slight white cast. It did make me pale and sometimes even made me look ashy, even when I applied it gradually. after the first reapplication it is transparent, after several reapplications there is already quite a bit of white. If you wear make-up or even just with BB cream, it probably won't bother you at all.
Another common problem with mineral sunscreens is that they can be very greasy, but it's not greasy at all. It even dried me out a bit. Maybe suitable for those with more oily skin. Matte finish.
It does not contain alcohol, fragrance or essential oils, but its list of ingredients is very long and it contains a strange mixture of plant and fruit extracts that I have no idea why they are good, such as purple potato extract, sweet potato root extract, turmeric extract, raspberry extract, red algae extract, basil extract... really a vegetable salad.
These are not essential oils, so their irritation potential is probably low, but if you are allergic to any of it, you should stay away.
Among all the salad, it also contains green tea which is an antioxidant and can soothe the skin.
It is not water resistant.
In short - I will go back to sticking to the chemical sunscreens, but for those looking for a mineral sunscreen for oily skin, this is not a bad option at all.
Update: Unfortunately The brand was sold to a company that conducts animal testing 🐰💔
