My Review & Thoughts:

This is purely a physical sunscreen. It has 25% of zinc oxide in it, which is the maximum amount of concentration approved by FDA. This contains silicone , so it spreads effortlessly. Blends into the skin beautifully. This has no white cast. This has very minimal ingredient list. This has no fragrance . Overall I really enjoyed using this. The only down side I felt was the quantity was less. The tube was half empty. Other than that I really liked this one. This didn't gave me any breakouts so far. This sunscreen didn't give me that heavy feeling on my skin even after reapplication . So I definitely recommend this product. This product is  worth trying. 

It is available in Amazon, Nykaa and other online sites.
