The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For a face that stings. Deeper skin will see more cast than a tinted mineral.
Formula standards
4.3/5
Thick, high SPF, and it needs a real rub-in. Tint or time helps the white fade.
The verdict
A reliable sensitive zinc. Give it a minute on the skin before you judge the cast.
