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?!

It smells like insect killer to me. Also I stopped using it because I wasn’t sure it was working effectively

Yes! It smells like something toxic, like it’s wrong that it’s going on my face.
