Pros:

High Zinc Oxide concentration providing strong sun protection
Lightweight and easy to blend
Water-resistant and suitable for outdoor use
Semi-matte finish suitable for oily, normal, and combination skin types
No oils in the formula, good for oil-free preferences
Cruelty-free and non-comedogenic claims
Suitable for all skin tones, including duskier complexions, with minimal white cast after some time

Cons:

Contains fragrance, which can irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin
Silicone-heavy formula, not suitable for those avoiding silicones or with silicone sensitivity
Slight gray cast initially, especially on dry skin, which takes time to settle
Not ideal for dry or very dry skin types as it does not absorb well without good moisturizing underneath
Requires double cleansing to avoid breakouts or clogged pores due to product clinging to skin
Expensive with minimal discounts and no clear certification or proof of efficacy publicly available
Lack of transparency from the brand (no reply about nano vs non-nano Zinc Oxide, no certificate of testing)

User Experience:

Reviewer has dry skin and tested product with and without moisturizer; product sinks in better on moisturized skin but still takes time
Product clings strongly to skin, necessitating thorough double cleansing
Easy to blend and lightweight feel appreciated
Water resistance tested successfully; water beads off face without melting sunscreen
Gray cast noticeable but diminishes over time; more visible on dry skin

Comparisons & Additional Notes:

Reviewer is considering testing other sunscreens such as Karx Hybrid, Earth Rhythm Mineral, and Minimalist SPF 50 for future reviews
The ZBLOCK sunscreen is positioned as a premium mineral option compared to others reviewed by the creator
The reviewer recommends ZBLOCK mainly for oily, normal, and combination skin types, not for dry skin
The product is recommended for those seeking a cruelty-free, oil-free, Mineral Sunscreen with high Zinc Oxide content despite its fragrance and price

Verdict / Overall Recommendation:

ZBLOCK Mineral Sunscreen is a high-SPF, Zinc Oxide-rich, water-resistant Mineral Sunscreen with a semi-matte finish that works well for oily, normal, and combination skin types. It is lightweight and cruelty-free but contains fragrance and silicones, which may irritate sensitive or dry skin. Its initial gray cast and price point may deter some users, and it requires double cleansing to prevent breakouts. The product lacks publicly available certification or detailed ingredient transparency. Recommended primarily for those who prioritize mineral, oil-free, cruelty-free formulas and can tolerate fragrance.
