Usually i hate mineral sunscreens but this one exceptional ❤️...mineral sunscreen is always going to leave a white cast due to the nature of zinc oxide. i have medium skin and it definitely leaves a subtle white cast. the pigment they added to look more like skin is really only useful for pale people only. but if you're like me and can only use zinc oxide based sunscreen, the rest of your body is covered in white sunscreen anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
