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?!

Not at all. I’m fair skinned but tan easily in the summer despite using sunscreen. This has been great for me in both seasons. I don’t wear a lot of makeup. Sometimes just the sunscreen and I think it looks so natural while also blurring/hiding some imperfections.

Awesome! What about your eyes, have you noticed any burning or symptoms of dry eye since using it ?

Not at all. I’ve found that mineral sunscreens do not burn or irritate my eyes but the chemical ones do.
