The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
This cream sunscreen builds its SPF 40 broad spectrum protection around zinc oxide, then rounds out the formula with cupuacu seed butter, lilac seed extract and raspberry seed extract to support hydration alongside the sun protection. The tinted, blurring finish is aimed at normal, oily and acne prone skin, and the brand keeps the formula free of formaldehyde, mineral oil, parabens and sulfates.
At 1.7 ounces the tube is sized for regular daily reapplication, and the water resistant rating gives it a bit more staying power through a sweaty commute or an outdoor errand. The unscented profile is a plus for anyone who reacts to fragranced sunscreens, and the added blue light protection claim is a nice bonus for screen heavy days.
With 284 ratings averaging 4.5 stars, buyers largely seem happy with how it wears day to day. Monthly purchase volume sits at a modest 40, so it reads as a smaller but well liked pick rather than a runaway bestseller in the facial sunscreen space.
Pros
- Zinc oxide mineral formula with a tinted, blurring finish
- Includes cupuacu seed butter and seed extracts for added hydration
- Free of formaldehyde, mineral oil, parabens and sulfates
- Unscented, which suits fragrance sensitive skin
- Water resistant for light daily activity
Cons
- Tinted finish may not match every skin tone
- 1.7 ounce size means more frequent repurchasing with daily use
- Modest 284 review count compared to larger sunscreen brands
Performance notes
Zinc oxide is a mineral, broad spectrum filter that sits on top of skin to reflect UV rays, which tends to suit acne prone and reactive skin better than some chemical filters. The added cupuacu seed butter and seed extracts are there to support moisture and a smoother look under the tint, rather than to boost the SPF rating itself.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 284 ratings is a solid, consistent score for a newer entrant in the crowded tinted mineral sunscreen space. The moderate review count paired with steady monthly purchases suggests a smaller but genuinely satisfied customer base rather than a viral spike.

Frequently asked questions
Will this sunscreen leave a white cast?
Because it is a mineral formula tinted to help blend in, most users should see less of a white cast than an untinted zinc oxide sunscreen, though the single shade may not be a perfect match for every skin tone. Blending quickly after application generally helps it settle in more evenly.
Is this a good sunscreen for acne prone skin?
The formula is positioned for normal, oily and acne prone skin and skips mineral oil and sulfates, which are common irritants for breakout prone skin. As with any new sunscreen, patch testing first is a reasonable way to confirm it agrees with your skin.
Can this replace a separate moisturizer?
The cupuacu seed butter and seed extracts give it a hydrating quality, but it is formulated as a sunscreen first rather than a dedicated moisturizer. Those with drier skin may still want a lightweight moisturizer underneath, especially in colder months.
