This is a mixed chemical/physical sunscreen with zinc and octinoxinate. The good is that is has no white cast and it is light; doesn't take forever to absorb. The bad: it's very expensive for only 2 oz. It also is hard to get out of the cute little container as it is pretty thick but it spreads easily so once I get it out it's not a problem. But getting it out almost takes a vice grip. I don't think it's the sunscreen itself but the goofy tube/bottle dealie. They should have stuck to a regular tube. I probably would not repurchase because I think the Elta brand is as good for better SPF and more product for less money. No scent but there is a little minty/menthol scent thing going on but no mint or menthol listed so it might be my overreactice nose. Check Skin-etc for ingredients.
