Clean product but still left my face feeling greasy
An affordable, no-nonsense mineral sunscreen, free of most allergens and irritants, great for those with sensitive skin. The sunscreen separates a bit so you must shake it before dispensing it into your hands. Unfortunately, my face still feels greasy and a bit sticky after I apply it, but I haven't yet found a sunscreen that doesn't feel this way so maybe I am just expecting too much?

Extremely greasy. Even as someone with dry skin who enjoys a glowy look, this is way too much for me. I only wore it once, and I had to use a mattifying powder to feel ok going outside. I suppose it's usable if you powder your face every time, but I don't want to have to do that.
On the positive side it is a very affordable mineral sunscreen that leaves only a very minimal white cast, while also being SPF 50. It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free. Too bad about the extreme grease.
