Plus, it’s a reef-safe sunscreen filter, which is a nice bonus. So why doesn’t everyone use zinc oxide sunscreen? Most of the time, zinc oxide-based sunscreens are notorious for producing a ghostly, chalky effect, which makes them less than desirable for anyone who doesn’t have pale skin. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/tinted-sunscreens/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/tinted-sunscreens/ Isn’t it funny how you can go through life not knowing what’s right under your nose? Even if you put it there yourself? I recently came to realize that aluminum oxide and iron oxides are everywhere! If you use or have ever used any sort of BB cream, tinted moisturizer, or tinted sunscreen, you’ve probably rubbed one or more of these ingredients on your face every day. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
