Overview
Mineral sunscreen serum with SPF 30 zinc oxide, formulated for oily and sensitive skin with a matte, non-greasy finish. Made in the USA from non-nano zinc oxide and organic ingredients, free of octinoxate, oxybenzone, parabens and silicones.
This is a serum-format sunblock rather than a traditional cream, aimed at people who find standard mineral sunscreens heavy or chalky under makeup. The unscented, vegan formula also carries hyaluronic acid for some hydration alongside the UV filter, and its non-comedogenic claim targets breakout-prone skin specifically.
- SPF 30 broad spectrum, zinc oxide based
- Serum texture with matte, non-greasy finish
- Unscented, made in the USA
- 1.7 fluid ounce bottle
Who it's for
Suits people with oily, combination or sensitive skin who want daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection without a greasy residue, particularly if they layer makeup on top. Not aimed at anyone needing higher SPF for prolonged high-altitude or intense sun exposure, since this tops out at SPF 30.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Matte finish suited to oily and combination skin
- Non-nano zinc oxide, reef safe formula
- Free of octinoxate, oxybenzone, parabens and silicones
- Water resistant for daily wear
- SPF 30 only, not for high-intensity sun exposure
- Serum texture may feel different from a cream sunscreen users expect
Performance notes
Zinc oxide sits on the skin surface to physically block and scatter UV rays rather than absorbing them chemically, which is why the brand markets it as reef safe and suitable for sensitive skin. The serum base and matte finish are meant to reduce the white cast and greasy feel some mineral sunscreens leave behind, and hyaluronic acid is included to offset the drying effect zinc formulas can have.
