Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.
What the gurus are saying
A sheer tint that blends in and keeps shine in check is what these gurus keep returning to, and several note it helps block visible light tied to melasma. However, opinions split on makeup, since one take found it wore off and looked patchy under foundation, so it may suit wearing alone. Anyone sensitive to fragrance may want to note that it contains lavender and rose fruit oil.

"My first recommendation here is Bliss Blockstar Daily Mineral SPF 30. This is tinted 100% mineral daily sunscreen. Features this vanishing tint. Blends into skin perfectly. I love it.

It protects against UV damage, but also helps block visible light that contributes to melasma and hyperpigmentation. I find it really lightweight. It blends really easy.

Dermatologist Explains Why Tinted SPF Matters | Best Mineral Tinted Sunscreens for Hyperpigmentation
"This gives me the most coverage of any tinted sunscreen I've used. It blends in perfectly with my skin tone. It's not greasy at all. Goes on almost like a mousse. It's a great protector against UV damage, but also helps block that visible light because of its tint and iron oxides. And I love it because I have melasma, but also love it because I'm oily and this mattifies me like nothing else. It's super lightweight, mousey feeling. The key ingredients here are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide."
"This is the Bliss Block Star sunscreen, a tinted sunscreen. If you're prone to melasma you want not just a sunscreen but a mineral sunscreen that's tinted, because it helps block the blue light and the infrared, the heat you feel, and those things can flare melasma. So this is going to be great to protect you against melasma, especially if you're prone to it."
"I've heard good things about this Bliss Block Star invisible daily SPF 30. This is the kind of thing though that you use as an everyday moisturizer. [...] It has iron oxides which can offer some protection against visible light. It does have fragrance though, lavender oil, rose fruit oil, so be aware."
"It was majorly worn off on my nose after just four hours, [...] looked patchy on the rest of my face, and was still settled in all my wrinkles. Unfortunately, this was so not good under makeup that I can't really recommend it wholeheartedly for people who wear makeup and want just one sunscreen that's going to work on its own as well as under makeup, but it could be very wearable on its own."
"The Bliss has a little bit of lavender in it. It's also tinted. We used this in a Trader Joe's haul which was super fun, but this SPF 30 is great."

Your Favorite Sunscreen Isn’t Protecting You…
"This continues to be one of my favorite sunscreens of all time. I can't tell you guys how many people that I know started using this product after my recommendations and say that it's their favorite one. It's just so good.

I love how it mattifies the skin, it never makes me look greasy, and it controls excess oiliness, and with the tint in it, it gives a bit of a makeup feel without actually being makeup. That said, because it does have a tint, I'd give this a white cast rating of one, not because of white cast but because the tint might not be suitable for every skin tone. I love that you can find this one easily at Target."

What the evidence says.
Independent of what the gurus think, this is what
the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Sunscreen filters
Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
