A dermatologist-favorite mineral-chemical hybrid sunscreen with 9% zinc oxide and 5% niacinamide. The lightweight texture spreads easily without the white cast typical of pure mineral formulas. For acne-prone and sensitive skin, the addition of niacinamide helps with tone and texture while the zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection. The non-comedogenic formula layers well under makeup.
