User Experience:

Reviewer has dry skin and found it nourishing without dryness. Application is easy and smooth but requires quick blending to avoid patchiness. White cast and shine are noticeable, which might be a concern for some users. Does not sting eyes, a plus for sensitive users. Some days the sunscreen pills on the skin, which is a downside. Reviewer prefers other mineral sunscreens available in the market over this one currently. Recommended for pregnant or lactating women who prioritize safety over cosmetic finish.

Comparisons & Additional Notes:

Compared briefly with other mineral sunscreens like Sunscoop Kids Mineral Sunscreen and Omi’s Pure Mineral Watery Sunscreen (not deeply reviewed here)
Reviewer is open to reviewing other mineral and new-generation chemical filter sunscreens based on viewer interest
Highlights the importance of ingredient awareness, especially for acne-prone users
Notes that skincare reactions are subjective and encourages users to share their experiences

Overall Verdict:

Plum Mineral Sunscreen is a well-formulated, safe, and soothing mineral sunscreen ideal for sensitive, dry skin and for pregnant or lactating users who want a clean, cruelty-free product. However, its white cast, tendency to pill, and somewhat heavy finish make it less appealing for oily or acne-prone skin types. Frequent reapplication is necessary due to lack of water resistance. While the product is decent, the reviewer suggests there are better mineral sunscreens available currently and would not repurchase this formulation. It is recommended mainly for those prioritizing skin barrier support and safety over cosmetic elegance.
