![]() It does have a bit of a white-cast, but nothing horrible. ![]() It'll sure work for babies, though!Ĥ) Banana Boat Simply Protect Kids SPF 50+Īctive Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 4.5%, Zinc Oxide 6.5% Even being as pale as I am, I would not wear this out in public. Ok, first of all: 24.08% of Zinc Oxide! You know what that means? GHOSTY FACE. Additionally, I found the smell unpleasant. I could not use this around my eyes because it stung me every damn time. I found this to be too oily for the summer and it created an uncomfortable film on my face every time I used it. I can't tell you how much I wanted to like this formula. If you're very very oily, this might be worth a try.Ģ) La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50Īctive Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 6%, Zinc Oxide 5% I have the non-tinted version, but there is a tinted version that might not result in such an incident. On the days that I wore this when I was active and sweaty, I would get blotches of white collecting around my forehead, eyebrows, and chin. I found this too drying on my skin over time and it really made my skin look. This did have a white cast, but it didn't bother me too much (read: white af). This formula is marketed as a primer and has a very similar consistency to Benefit Porefessional. ![]() Unfortunately, though, as I found out more about my skin, I realized this was not what I needed. I used to have an FSA card and I stockpiled this so I have enough backups for the next several years. Sooooo yeah.ġ) CoTZ Face Non-Tinted SPF 40 (now called CoTZ Face Prime & Protect Non-Tinted SPF 40)Īctive Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 8%, Zinc Oxide 3.8% I didn't burn that badly because I was good at re-applying it throughout the day, but I did have hives for the following few days. One time I went on a school field trip to an amusement park and used a store-brand chemical sunscreen. As you'll notice in these reviews, very few mineral sunscreens meet that standard. Also worth noting is that I'm super duper pale-faced, so take my comments about white-cast with a grain of salt.Īs I found out more and more about the skincare world and the need for both UVB & UVA coverage, I figured out that I needed a sunscreen with a fairly high percentage of zinc oxide (15%+) to combat photoaging. I don't want anything crazy special, I just want my skin to look like skin. I like a sunscreen that doesn't dry me out and essentially just acts as a second moisturizer, but still lets my skin breathe. This journey was a 3 year chronicle of finding out what my skin liked and didn't like, how I wanted my skin to look, and finding formulations that met my needs.
