But since there are so many different (and great) options on the market, if you’re still having trouble finding your dream sunscreen, let us help you by highlighting the key features of our best-selling (and favorite!) mineral sunscreens.
If you hate that sticky feeling most sunscreens leave behind, you’re going to love this one. Its light, natural and creamy formula with non-nano zinc oxide makes it the perfect everyday mineral sunscreen to reapply over makeup. Its star ingredient is French Maritime Pine, which is a great ally in the fight against hyperpigmentation and skin damage caused by oxidative stress and sunburn, in addition to its high content of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory active ingredients. It glides beautifully onto the skin, reflecting a healthy glow after application. Plus it’s fragrance-free!
Lightly tinted (suitable for all skin tones), super moisturizing and with vitamins B3+E, macadamia, omegas 6+9 and organic rice bran, this non-nano zinc oxide mineral formula offers total protection against UVA+B rays as well as blue light, and I find it perfect for those who want a sunscreen that also works as a bb cream/light coverage foundation. It evens out the skin tone and visibly plumps fine lines. I noticed an instant glow to my skin after applying it. However, if you don’t like scented products, I would personally recommend not to choose this one, as it has a very distinctive herbal scent.
Do you have very sensitive skin? Then look no further! This mineral sunscreen with non-nano zinc oxide is gentle even on the most delicate skin and also contains protection against blue and infrared light. It’s a very fluid formula that absorbs quickly. I personally use it in place of my moisturizer at the end of my morning routine and it ticks all the boxes: it’s gentle on the skin, moisturizes, protects and serves as a pre-base for makeup. Slightly scented, vegan.
Well, although not technically a sunscreen, this moisturizer from FYI has an SPF of 30 and I find it a 10 to finish my morning skincare routine. It’s intense and hydrating, but doesn’t leave skin feeling shiny or greasy – just a light, natural hydration. It contains aloe vera juice, squalane, sodium hyaluronate and niacinamide, among other beneficial ingredients, and after some time using it, I noticed how it lessened the appearance of fine lines and brightened my complexion noticeably. It is certainly an excellent 2-in-1 moisturizer-sunscreen for those who want to simplify their morning routine without losing hydration or protection. Plus, it’s a non-mineral, 100% natural base formula – what does this mean? That it won’t leave you with that thick, whitened, sticky feeling that most mineral sunscreens have. Anything else to reach perfection? Well, yes: it is completely vegan and complies with Hawaii’s Reef Act.
Imagine a mineral sunscreen with its first ingredient being aloe vera and it has clinically proven antioxidant activity. This one is what we like to call a multitasker. Face & body mineral sunscreen, suitable for the most sensitive (even baby) skin. It spreads very easily, practically turning into a gel when you massage it into the skin, leaving it moisturized without being greasy. It is also suitable for all skin types, ages and preferences, just like the short black dress you have in your closet that can be used for any occasion! It’s infused with rosehip and calendula to give your skin the antioxidant and soothing effect it needs when exposed to the sun (plus a nice fresh floral scent). It comes in a 100ml tube and its unique features make it one of the best quality/price ratio sunscreens. Definitely a must in your bathroom vanity.
Now let’s say you want to correct and even out your skin tone, but you don’t like to put foundation over your SPF, moisturizer and morning serum every day (yes, sometimes it can be a lot) – but you do still want that luminous, glowing finish that enhances even the subtlest makeup. I got you! RMS launched this SPF30 serum that demonstrates skincare at its best: you don’t need a thousand products to look your best, maybe one is more than enough. With non-nano mineral zinc protection, radiance boosting compounds and 3 universal shades with a seamless finish, this is a product I would recommend to anyone I love.

This rich, translucent formula features aloe vera, avocado butter and extracts of kale and spinach, making it an excellent sunscreen with natural filters such as Zinc Oxide that nourish and protect the skin as well as shielding it from the sun with SPF50. It is extremely moisturizing, and although it may appear thick, with the right application you’ll have skin that stays hydrated for the rest of the day. It absorbs VERY quickly and it’s also great as a makeup primer!
