I’m a bit medium tan naturally and I was hopping this didn’t leave a white cast but the zinc definitely tends to stick around. I wasn’t sure how to work around it but alas! I love to use this over tattoos to make sure they are fully protected from the sun !! I loveee how safe I feel with this on and with a thick coat I hardly ever need to reapply. Not a fan of super chemically sunscreens, happy to use this one :)
