Great for in a rush!
I love this product for no make up days! It has a small tint to it so is perfect when you don’t want a lot of makeup. It also does not leave a white cast on your face. It feels a little weird at first like in a thick way.

Instant Even Skin
I know most people dread the white cast with mineral sunscreens, but for me, it is actually the best feature. It acts almost like a gentle tone-up cream, instantly blurring imperfections and making my skin look brighter and more even. The formula glides on effortlessly and dries down quickly without that thick, greasy weight typical of physical sunblocks. It feels completely weightless throughout the day while giving my skin a smooth, fresh, and polished finish.

Great sunscreen
I love this sunscreen because it offers everything you need , which is maximum protection for your face on hot days . It feels like a very light cream when you applied, the price is very reasonable and totally worth it.

We love this sunscreen. I am a very fair person and my husband is a bit darker naturally and we both wear this fine. He had been struggling with some type of dermatitis/rosacea by his nose for 6+ months that was not responding to any of the dermatologist solutions, even the antibiotics and topicals. This sunscreen I had for a while and Thad him try it to just keep the area protected from sun during the summer. It has helped tremendously and the bumps and redness have gone away. I believe it is due to the high zinc levels and other ingredients combined. We had already tried high zinc concentrated diaper rash creams but they did not help in this instance. Whatever the blend of ingredients in this particular item has been amazing. For us, the white cast is not as much of an issue as it is for other commenters.

Bad white cast
I will give credit that it did seem to block the sun pretty well BUT it gave awful white cast and I’m a light skinned person. It felt gross on my skin but the larger bottle of mineral sunscreen by a different brand I used for my body had no white cast and didn’t feel icky. I never want to use this again.

Hello MarigoldBasil! We are so sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 left an unwanted white cast and felt uncomfortable during wear. Warming a small amount of the mineral formula between your fingertips before gently pressing it into the skin can sometimes help the physical filters blend more evenly. We truly appreciate you sharing your honest feedback with us.

It leaves a white film.
I purchased this because I was told it was appropriate for ppl of color. Boy, that was a bold face lie. This is not appropriate for darker skin tones. I have tried different application techniques. It still left a white cloud on my face. I'll see if one of my white neighbors wants it. Don't waste your money.

Hello there! We are so sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 left an unwanted white cast and did not meet your expectations for a seamless finish. Because mineral sunscreens rely on physical UV filters, warming a small amount thoroughly between your fingertips before gently pressing it into the skin can sometimes help the formula blend more evenly.

It stinks and I look like Queen Elizabeth with this white mask which leads me to believe it likely blocks radiation nevertheless, I’m unamused.

Hello M! We are sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 had an unpleasant scent and left a noticeable white cast on your skin. Mineral filters can sometimes require a little extra technique during application, and a helpful tip is to dispense a small amount onto your fingertips, rub them together gently to warm the product, and press it into the skin rather than rubbing vigorously to help it sheer out more evenly. We truly appreciate you sharing your candid experience with us, and we will certainly pass your feedback along to our product development team.

Chalky & not moisturizing. False advertisement
Was not moisturizing at all and was the typical white residue of a mineral sun screen. False advertising. Very poor quality

Hello Vintagechic360! We are so sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 did not feel sufficiently moisturizing and left an unwanted white residue. Because 100% mineral formulas rely on physical filters to protect the skin, warming a small amount between your fingertips before gently pressing it into slightly damp skin can often help the product blend more seamlessly and feel more comfortable. We truly appreciate you sharing your honest feedback with us.

Hello Rajani! We are sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 left noticeable white patches on your skin. Mineral filters rely on physical barriers to protect against UV rays, which can sometimes require a little extra care during application, and a helpful tip is to dispense a small amount onto your fingertips, rub them together gently to warm the product, and press it into the skin rather than rubbing vigorously to help it sheer out more evenly.

Omg I’ve never had a sunscreen as bad as this one. It doesn’t rub into the skin it’s so white and it just lingers on your face.

Hello Ava! We are sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 did not blend smoothly and left an unwanted white cast on your skin.

Decent cream, not invisible though
It’s a decent sunscreen, quite effective and with no unfortunate consequences (like breakout). Neutral scent is a plus, but I wish the finish was less visible: at least on my skin this product leaves a white cast.

Might feel greasy if you’re not use to wearing sunscreen.
I use this product on daily base, It is so comfortable and last for a very long time. It does get the job done because I have been using it for a very long time. It also last you a very long time. If your new into sunscreen you might feel heavy, but over time you will get use it.

Do not recommend. Pros: It does feel lightweight going on & it does work well. Con: The white cast is off the charts. I'm pretty pale to begin with and this made me look sickly/ like a ghost. I tried it several times, but no matter how little I used or how well I rubbed it in, there was still a haze(for lack of a better word).

Hello Albina! We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad to hear that you found the mineral formula lightweight and effective, though we are so sorry that the white cast was disappointing for you. Because this 100% mineral sunscreen utilizes physical UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it creates a protective barrier on top of the skin that can naturally leave a visible white haze, especially on dry areas. A wonderful tip to minimize this cast is to apply the sunscreen in small, thin layers, warming the product between your fingertips first and gently patting—rather than rubbing—it into well-hydrated skin, allowing each layer to absorb fully before adding more.
