I slapped this on at 7am, ran through three subway stations, and my face still looked matte by noon. That never happens.
Most “non-greasy” sunscreens are lying to you. This one actually dries down like a primer — not a slick of frying oil.
£28 for 50ml. The brand claims it’s “weightless” and I rolled my eyes — then tried it. It’s a mineral SPF that doesn’t feel like chalk paste.
Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano)
Sits on top of skin, doesn’t absorb into pores — which is why oily skin doesn’t freak out.
Green Tea Extract
Smells faintly like matcha. Not in a bad way. Calms redness within minutes.
Aloe Vera Base
Thin, watery texture. Shake it like a bottle of nail polish before use.

Non-nano zinc oxide does the heavy lifting. No chemical filters that melt into your sebum and turn your face into a slip ‘n slide by 3pm.
The unexpected bit: there’s *no* silicone in here. Most mattifying sunscreens rely on dimethicone to fake the dry-down. This one just… does it.
- Zinc Oxide (22%): Blocks UVA/UVB without clogging
- Green Tea: Antioxidant that eats excess oil for breakfast
- Aloe: Thins out the formula so it doesn’t sit like paste
- Vitamin E: Stops the white cast from looking ashy on medium skin

First pump felt like watery lotion. Rubs in milky white for 15 seconds, then disappears. No ghost face. My shiny T-zone looked… normal.
Week two: I stopped blotting at lunch. That’s never happened. Only downside — it pills if you layer a thick moisturizer underneath. Skip the cream.

My pores didn’t shrink. But they also didn’t get *bigger*. No new breakouts. Shine was reduced by about 60% compared to my usual Supergoop.

It’s the rare mineral SPF that actually respects oily skin instead of fighting it. Buy one, skip the primer.
