Could you please analyze a mineral sunscreen formula from a Thai brand that is reef-safe? I like using it because it has SPF50 PA+++, is waterproof, has a good, smooth texture that is easy to spread, doesn't feel heavy on the face, and barely leaves a white cast even though it uses non-nano filters. However, I would like the finish to be more matte because my skin tends to be oily. I would like to know how the formula can be simplified while maintaining the above properties, and what the suitable ratios for the ingredients would be. The ingredient list is: * WATER * Zinc Oxide (NON-NANO) * TITANIUM DIOXIDE (NON-NANO) * C12-15 alkyl benzoate (emollient) * Simmondsia Chinensis SEED OIL * Cetearyl Alcohol (SOLVENT) * BIS-PEG-12 Dimethicone * Beeswax (Skin Conditioning) * Niacinamide * Cetearyl Alcohol (EMULSIFYING) * Glyceryl Stearate (EMULSIFYING) * PEG-100 STEARATE (surfactant) * BIS-PEG-12 Dimethicone Beeswax * BARBADENSIS LEAF EXTRACT * MICA * Laureth-7 (EMULSIFYING) * Sodium Polyacrylate (FILM FORMING) * C13-14 ISO Paraffin (SOLVENT) * Sodium Hyaluronate * Tocopheryl Acetate * Allantoin * HydroxyethylCellulose (EMULSION STABILISING)
