TIzO 2  SPF 40 facial mineral sunscreen non- tinted  when applied as thin as possible still made my face turn white due to the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide  which are the active ingredients for the sunscreen.  It does give a matte finish as marketed, it is not shiny. But it is more greasy on the surface of my skin than my usual. I am accustomed to using Elta MD SPF 46 **clear** whose active ingredient is zinc oxide in a **clear** formulation.

Because I live in Houston Texas with strong sun  and because we have so many bright sunny days all year round I need to wear a high SPF every day. I use the Elta MD clear SPF 46 as my daily moisturizer. I am always on the lookout for something that might be better but I am not going to be able to use this because it turns my face white and vecause it is heavier.

 I would recommend this only for when you are going to the beach or going to exercise outdoors if you think that SPF 40 is all that you will need.

I do not wear foundation makeup or powder so I did not test this product with putting multiple layers of other makeup products on top of this sunscreen.

Rating 3 stars = it's okay as a sunscreen for use when outdoors if you don't care that your face has a bright whitish cast.
