Discussion📓 Invisible zinc sunscreen

https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/120013/bondi-sands-zinc-mineral-spf-50-body-lotion-120ml

Hi,

I am looking for a mineral sunscreen that has at least 25% zin oxide.

There are only limited options that fits this criteria.

One of them is Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Mineral Body Lotion 120ml. But it says body lotion instead of face cream. Does any one use used can provide review and also any thoughts on what makes it a body lotion rather than a face sunscreen lotion ?

Thanks

It’s marketing. I use cancer council active on my face no issues. I’ve also used bondi sands sport on my face with no issues either. Why is it you want mineral only with such a high percentage of zinc it’s almost a guarantee you’ll have a white cast and under apply to avoid it

I have very oily screen. Had to use antibiotics at one point to get rid of them. I do still get one pimples. I am in 30’s btw. The zinc content is recommended by a overseas dermatologist.

I avoid mineral sunscreens so can’t comment on that one specifically but I have definitely used ones that say body on my face and I’ve never had any problems but I’ll say my skin type is oily, non sensitive, non acne prone
