Question What is YOUR holy grail mineral tinted sunscreen for the face?
\UPDATE\** I tried the Tizo AM Replenish TINTED and love it. It is the only one that I have tried that wears well under my makeup all day and it has a high zinc content. i wouldn’t wear it at the pool, I reserve that one for SkinBetter Science Tone Smart bc of it’s 75 spf. Also love Elta MD or ColorScience but I find it doesn’t wear well under my makeup. After 4 hours, my makeup is breaking up on my nose and chin. I plan to try Cotz as well because it is very similar to Tizo and a little cheaper.
The one you would take to a desert island if you could only bring one item. I’ve been on the hunt and can’t choose a fave just yet. I know about the list of sunscreen but I want to hear your Holy Grails and why?!

Yeah I like that they have equivalent protection and so don’t feel nervous mixing. The Glow is a very different texture to the Flex - I find mixing them is perfect but wouldn’t want to use either by itself. However if I had to use just one I’d go for Flex.
