3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive, rosacea-prone, and eczema-prone skin.
  • Water resistant up to 80 minutes, making it practical for outdoor and water activities.
  • Enriched with antioxidants including vitamin C, green tea, pomegranate, and cranberry.
Reviewers push back
  • Noticeable white cast that can be a deal-breaker for medium to deeper skin tones.
  • Thick, silicone-heavy texture feels heavy on oily skin and takes effort to work in.
  • Transfers easily — disturbing the dried film with hands, hair, or clothing lifts it off.
A well-formulated mineral SPF that earns genuine praise for its fragrance-free, water-resistant, antioxidant-rich formula, but divides reviewers over its white cast, thick silicone texture, and suitability for darker skin tones.
— best for: People with normal to dry, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin — especially those with fair to light skin tones who can tolerate a mild white cast and want reliable water resistance from a 100% mineral formula.

To say I’m obsessed with this sunscreen is an understatement. It is the most protective and effective sunscreen I have ever used. It is not greasy, and does not leave white streaks on my face. It smells clean, with still a sunscreen sent to it. I reapply every couple of hours, but don’t feel like it is too heavy on my face. I started using the tinted one and I’m even in love with that! when I am o Hannah F · influenster.com

So hydrating but mattifying? It's a mousy texture that feels thick at first but then mattifies on the face. That thick texture i found is really good for cold harsh weather as well to protect skin. It works like a charm as a primer or on makeup no makeup days where I want my face to be blurred. It has a blurring tint to it that works well for my pale skin tone for a very light coverage.
