Texture & Finish

This sunscreen has a creamy lotion texture that feels moisturizing and protective on the skin. Because it is a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it can leave a noticeable white cast, especially on medium to deep skin tones. The finish is usually more natural-to-dewy rather than matte. (ulta.com)
