Will this sunscreen leave a white cast on darker skin?

No, the innovative EnviroScreen® Technology blends invisibly on all skin tones without leaving residue or white cast.

Can I wear this under makeup?

Yes, the lightweight formula creates an excellent makeup base. Allow 2-3 minutes to set before applying foundation or other cosmetics.

Is SPF 40 enough for daily protection?

Absolutely. SPF 40 blocks 97.5% of UVB rays, making it ideal for daily wear. The broad-spectrum formula also protects against UVA, blue light, and pollution.

How does this differ from chemical sunscreens?

This mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide to physically block UV rays rather than absorbing them. It's gentler on sensitive skin and safe for post-procedure use.
