We are worried that "Biossance - Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen" might not be able to provide reliable sun protection because it uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively weak concentration.
It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.
Sunscreen filters
