I've been using this for years and I can't stop using it! I have very sensitive skin and I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens. Yes, it's thick, but that also means it lasts. It's the only mineral sunscreen I trust for sports, swimming, desert hikes, etc. It doesn't cast white or purple. I also use it with light makeup and have no issues. uzshbjncfg · shopee.ph
