Before you buy

Questions buyers ask.

  • Who is #1 for “Best Mineral Sunscreens”, and for how long?

    Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 is the #1 product this week, and has been #1 for 6 of the last 25 weeks. EltaMD is the #1 brand, #1 for 20 of those weeks.

  • What changed on this chart in the last four weeks?

    6 of the top 20 products were not in the top 20 four weeks ago. The #1 then was Supergoop! Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40; it is #3 now. Among brands, 3 new names joined the top 20.

  • Do buyers, reviewers, owners and the press agree with the AI?

    11 of the top 20 were checked in October 2026: 1 fails the check, and people place 1 much lower than the AI does. 2 pass the check: people back them.
