What the gurus are saying

The blendability and soft texture stand out among mineral sunscreens. It glides on and blends exceptionally well, working even on deeper skin tones, though very deep skin may notice slight ashiness. The rich, hydrating formula is especially good for dry skin, but you'll need to work it in rather than patting on. One note: some reviewers found it greasier than the original version.

"For very deep skin tones it will leave a slight ashy tone that you'll need to cover up with the touch of makeup I hope the formula is as good as it was before I have heard some rumors that it's not quite as great"

"If you're someone with dry skin who wants a really nourishing and hydrating formula, the Biossance Squalane Mineral SPF 30 is a great option. I always recommend this one to people who want to really focus on hydration and moisture, and it does actually work for people with darker skin tones as well. Keep in mind you do have to work it into the skin, but it's a great option."

BEST SUNSCREENS EVER?! | Doctorly Reviews
"This one is pure zinc sunscreen. It has that squalane finish that you always get with the Biossance products. You may have to work this one in a little bit. I would say it's near invisible, not invisible like these Korean sunscreens or Supergoop, but for a mineral sunscreen, this is about as close to invisible as you can get with them. Just absolutely love the way it looks on my skin. Like all Biossance products, they just nail that component of it. They nail texture, feel, and look with products. I mean, really just crush it. Love this one. Anyone who's tried it will tell you the same thing. It's really a killer in that mineral sunscreen category."
