This mineral sunscreen is well-formulated for sensitive, dry, or normal skin types seeking broad-spectrum UV protection without synthetic filters or fragrance. However, it contains several plant oils, butters, and botanical extracts that may trigger allergies or irritation in susceptible individuals. It is not suitable for oily, acne-prone, or fungal acne-prone skin. Always patch test before full use, especially if you have a history of allergies or sensitive skin. Avoid use if you have known allergies to coconut, shea, sunflower, or any listed botanicals.
