CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion for Face & Body, 3 fl oz, 100% Mineral Sunscreen: Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide, Broad Spectrum SPF 30, For Sensitive Skin

Highly recommend this mineral face sunscreen. For those of us with fair skin and several recurring bits of skin cancer this is a must. I put it on under my makeup which has no sunscreen. I went to a baseball game recently, full sun and no hat (forgot) and I did not burn at all. This protected my skin completely. I was thinking I would have a half red face where the sun hit but nope not even pink. This does make your face a bit white when it’s applied, but I don’t worry about it since it’s under my makeup.

This works great! You can’t beat the quality. Works as well or better than all the high priced sun screens on the market. Just the right size to put in the makeup bag. If you end up with a bit of shine using this and then applying your makeup, I suggest you buy premium bamboo charcoal Natural Oil Blotting Sheets (brand starts with a Z). The blotting sheets pick up the excess oil and you don’t have to apply face powder to blot out the shine. You’ll love this facial sunscreen.

I can't give it five stars because it isn't a true mineral sunscreen like it claims. Butyloctyl salicylate is a chemical filter that isn't regulated yet, so they snuck it into the inactive ingredients list. EWG doesn't consider it a high risk, so I'm going to use this anyway. Otherwise, this is a good sunscreen. It moisturizes well and leaves a satin finish. It does have a slight white cast, but I don't mind that. It counteracts my red tones.

He probado muchos de estos productos y a veces siento que tapan mis poros como que sudo muy extraño y no había encontrado uno que me gustara pero encontré este y me encantó mi piel se siente hidratada pero no se siente pesada incluso queda un poquito blanco pero a los pocos segundos se difumina ese color blanco y se ve natural no se mira tan grasoso en la piel así que me encanta le doy un 100

This product is almost exactly like the one made by a company that starts with "Clin" and rhymes with "eek". Just like the expensive product it doesn't have a lot of fillers. It is in a liquid base that is easy to spread over the skin and doesn't leave a heavy or oily residue, so you can wear it over moisturizer or rosacea medication, and/or under makeup, which is why I love it. It a fraction of the price of the other product, only $11 for 1.7oz vs $37 for 1oz, and it is more water resistant and stays on better. But there are a few things I want to share so that people have realistic expectations.This type of product is a physical sun block, which means it works by spreading a thin layer of a mineral such as Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide over the skin which shields the skin from the sun's harmful radiation. This particular product contains Zinc Oxide, which is a white powder that is often used in diaper rash cream as a skin protectant. You can even ingest it as a Zinc supplement. So there is a lot of evidence supporting the safety of Zinc Oxide.This is not the case for chemical sunscreens that contain Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Avobenzone, and the like. There is growing evidence that chemicals like these are harmful to people and the environment, specifically coral reefs. Some of these chemicals are even banned in Europe and Australia. Because of these concerns many people are moving away from chemical sunscreens and are switching to Zinc Oxide. But there is a downside to Zinc Oxide.ALL sunscreens based on Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide cause a white cast to the skin to some extent, that is how they work. You can minimize this by spreading the product in a very thin layer, which is easier to do with this product because of the thin consistency. But the white cast is still there no matter what. If the white cast bothers you, keep in mind that it means your skin is protected. You can add tint/pigment drops to the product to cover the whitish cast, or you can put makeup, tinted moisturizer or face powder over it to disguise it, but you can't avoid the whitish cast without using chemicals that are harmful to the environment and probably people too. Keep that in mind if you decide to try this product.
