What the gurus are saying

This mineral body sunscreen earns praise for lacking the typical sunscreen smell and greasy feel that makes many people avoid sun protection. It dries down to a skin-like finish without fragrance, so clothes stay comfortable and nobody can tell you're wearing it. The formula comes in multiple shades, including a bronzed version for a tanned look at the beach.

"This formula really is great, it doesn't smell like sunscreen and that is one thing that I love with body sunscreens. I hate that sunscreen smell. I don't like fragrance in my sunscreen either. I want something that I can use and nobody knows I'm wearing sunscreen but me. My skin doesn't feel greasy and gross either. It actually dries down pretty skin-like as well, which I really like. There's nothing worse than my clothes sticking to my skin, so this formula really is on point."

"I love one by Colorescience. It is a mineral sunscreen for the body which is relatively rare to find but it is a really nice one and it comes in different shades as well. They also have a bronzed version so if you're at the beach and you want to feel like a bronze statue, the Colorescience bronzed body sunscreen is an interesting one to go for."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
