What the gurus are saying
This mineral sunscreen leaves no white cast, a standout feature for deeper skin tones that earlier mineral formulas struggled with. However, takes on it diverge: one expert who reviewed an earlier version found it problematic for deeper skin, while another praises the reformulated version for performing well across tones. The relaunch itself earned recognition for listening to what customers actually wanted.
