Polymethylsilsesquioxane is a silicone used as a film forming agent.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane has not been shown to clog pores. It has been deemed safe to use up to 55%, but most cosmetics use much less.
If you have concerns about using this ingredient, we recommend speaking with a professional.

PURITO Daily Go-To Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ 32 ingredients
This hybrid sunscreen offers a very shiny, dewy finish, that sometimes can look greasy because of the high shine, but the hydration payoff is great. It contains Cica, is gentle, hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty-free, but is unfortunately not reef-safe. The texture is similar to that of a midweight lotion, and it blends into the skin without leaving a white cast. You’ll need to give it about four Show more
Very nice to wear
A lovely facial SPF. Feels like a regular moisturizer, no sunscreen odor, and keeps my skin hydrated.
Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Mild-Up Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ 34 ingredients
This mineral sunscreen leaves a soft finish. It isn't as moisturizing as Round Lab's regular/chemical Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream, takes longer to settle in and leaves a slight white cast, as it often is with mineral sunscreens. It also doesn't wash off as easily as the other version, and reapplication isn't as smooth.
Leaves quite a heavy white cast. But didn’t break me out or irritate my skin
