What the gurus are saying

One expert found this works well on its own or layered under tinted sunscreen or foundation, praising its SPF 50 protection, water resistance, and moisturizing feel without heaviness. However, another reviewer flagged that the formula is identical across US and Australian versions, which may matter if you have region-specific preferences or concerns about product sourcing.

"Naked Sundays, same base formula, and interestingly just the other day finally posted something. Mecca Beauty posted: we want to let you know that Naked Sundays and Mecca have made the decision to remove the Naked Sundays Collagen Glow Mineral Priming Lotion from sale effective immediately. This decision has been made as a precaution. While the product is made by multiple manufacturers, this brand is still waiting independent retesting on one of those. They're trying to pull this very quietly under the rug. And apparently the one that's being sold in the US may have a different batch than the ones made in Australia at this point. I don't know if I trust this."

Ultra Violette Recalls Sunscreens Made for US and Australia
"Naked Sundays Collagen Glow Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion uses the same formula also in both US and Australia. They're a sunscreen company that doesn't make their own sunscreen, and they upcharged a huge amount compared to some of these other brands. I don't know if your main product is sunscreen and you can't get that right. It's an issue. I think a big issue."

"Naked Sundays, this is their mineral collagen glow, which is just 22% zinc oxide. There's no titanium dioxide."
Naked Sundays 🌞 Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion SPF50 Sunscreen Review
"There is no white cast, it has a tint that seems to work well for most skin types. I did hear from a couple people with lighter skin tones that said it is a little bit too dark for them, but they don't mind it. For me, this shade seems to be very forgiving. It gives you a little bit of a glow but it doesn't seem to be too deep or too light for me, so I liked it. In terms of texture, it is very thick, very, very, very thick. I apply it with my two fingers because I feel like if I'm going to use a brush I'm going to shear it out too much and I'm not going to get the protection. I've been applying this just over my vitamin C serum, I give it a moment to absorb, and once it soaks in it looks like a natural slightly matte finish, which is nice. It is extremely thick, thicker than most other mineral sunscreens I've ever used, but for some reason I don't mind it. I actually like it."
Top Sunscreens For Fall That Work For All Skin Types 🌞 Affordable & Perfect For Sensitive Skin
"This one's 25 bucks and uses 22% micronized zinc oxide. It's fragrance and alcohol free but has a very thick, very thick cream texture to it and tint. So if you don't like thicker things or if you have oily skin, this might not be up your alley. It's thick, and some people love the thickness and some people don't, so it's kind of hit or miss. It's got a nice tint to it, and a lot of the times you can kind of just apply it and put powder over it with no makeup and it just helps cover up minor imperfections. But it is very, very thick. It's nice and pretty affordable and I don't mind it, but on a very, very hot day I probably would grow to hate this one if I was using it on a hot day or if I'm sweaty, because it's so thick it would probably start to run down your face. But the thickness also makes it easier to apply it liberally without having to conscientiously try to do it."
Sunscreen Recalls & Scandal Gets Much Deeper ⚠️ Update on Ultra Violette & Naked Sundays SPF's

"This is an SPF 50, water-resistant up to 80 minutes, and it's also broad spectrum. This contains plant-based collagen and there's also antioxidants in here as well like watermelon extract. So this has a zinc oxide of 22.75% and this is one of the nicest sunscreens I have ever used underneath my makeup. This is honestly one of the nicest. This is actually better than a makeup primer itself. So if you don't like makeup primers or you don't like adding that extra step in your makeup routine, then pick up this and use this as your makeup primer. Your makeup just grips on top of this and your makeup doesn't budge. It doesn't fade. It doesn't move around. It stays in place. And I've had a lot of humid days here already in Ontario. And I have been using this underneath my makeup outside walking, sweating to death, and then coming home, my makeup still looked really good. Yes, I may have looked a little shiny, but my makeup did not budge at all. So this is great with or without makeup. There's lots of times where I'll just wear this on its own, and if there's any imperfections that I need to address, I'll just use a little bit of concealer on top of this and just touch up those areas. So this does have a beigy tone to it, and that is enough to honestly disguise that white cast for me personally and for my skin tone, but it's not a tinted sunscreen. It's not going to even out your skin, but it might slightly decrease on redness."

BEST SKINCARE UNDER $40 - MY CURRENT AFFORDABLE SKINCARE FAVORITES THAT ACTUALLY DELIVER RESULTS!
"I like to put something like this that is non-tinted first, put two to three finger lengths all over, and then go in with a tinted sunscreen afterwards just to even out my skin, or of course a foundation, CC cream, whatever. But this is great on its own or paired up with tinted sunscreens as well as foundation. So if you're looking for something new, something that is an SPF 50, water resistant, and something that is also really moisturizing but doesn't feel heavy on the skin, then I do really recommend this."
NO INJECTIONS NEEDED! MY FAVORITE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE THAT PREVENTS FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
"This is the Naked Sundays Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion. This is an SPF 50 broad spectrum water resistant up to 80 minutes and this has a zinc oxide of 22.75%. This is the one that I have really been enjoying. I can't get enough of this. I really love it because it acts as a makeup primer as well. So if you are someone that wears makeup, full face of makeup on a daily, this is one that works amazing under makeup. Your makeup just grips on top of this. You get that longevity with your makeup. Your makeup doesn't go anywhere. It stays in place. So if you're someone that loves using makeup primers, you could put those aside and just use this because I feel like this works just as good, if not better, than a traditional makeup primer."

"This is a very recent purchase for me, the Naked Sundays Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. As far as I understand, this is a brand that only does SPF 50, nothing under that. This is also unquestionably the thickest texture I've ever encountered in a sunscreen. It's actually free from boosters, so it does have a higher level of zinc oxide in the formula, but it's completely non-irritating to my eyes, and I think that's down to both the formula and the thick texture, it's not going to drip into my eyes because of how thick it feels. My goal isn't to recommend specific products, but at the same time, this is best in category."
Top Pick: thick sunscreen for sensitive eyes

"It did start to warm up on application, making it easier to spread. Now there's quite a weird color to it, it starts pretty ashy but in the end it seemed okay for my skin tone, although I'm not sure it's going to suit everyone. It's not as hydrating or as glowy as I'd like, and to be honest it got a bit drier throughout the day. I didn't love it. It retails for $34 for 50 mls. I gave it a four out of 10."

"This is tinted mineral with 22.75% zinc oxide. It starts to look white just like the Paula's Choice one, but then you blend it in completely and it is going to be a sheer coverage over your skin with no white cast. It matches your skin tone really well. It is a little more radiant than the other one and it has a little bit higher zinc concentration than the Paula's Choice one, but I would consider these really similar. I actually love and use both. Naked Sundays is just an awesome sunscreen brand with a lot of different SPF interesting products on their website."

"This is Naked Sundays, which is their Collagen Glow 100% mineral sunscreen. Believe it or not, this is all zinc oxide, a beautiful sunscreen with watermelon extract that offers antioxidant properties and is apparently highest grade vegan collagen. I can't speak much to that because I don't really care that much about having collagen in your skincare other than the fact that it may be hydrating. Collagen in your skincare is not necessarily going to help you stimulate collagen production. She is thick and she is tinted. It is thick, she's not lightweight and she's going to take some blending in. I still see a little bit of a white cast but I didn't blend it in very good. I personally don't think it's necessarily for every skin tone if you're asking me my opinion, but it is viral on TikTok. I don't think it is worth the hype for all skin tones."

"This is not going to be a sunscreen for everyone and I recognize that, but I love it. When you squeeze it out of the tube it is super thick, and initially when you rub it in you're thinking oh my gosh this is never going to rub in, but magically and quite quickly it rubs in very well to the skin. Although it is a completely zinc-based sunscreen, it does not leave a white cast on my skin tone. The tint on this sunscreen is sort of a neutral to cool-toned tint, and I really like that because I find a lot of tinted sunscreens are too orange. This one is cool-toned and it actually doesn't have a lot of coverage on the skin, so I can layer my makeup on top of it or I can wear it on its own. This is also the sunscreen I've been reaching for for outdoor activities because it has 80 minutes of sweat resistance, so this would be great in the ocean or swimming or just on a hike. Also because it's tinted and it has iron oxides in it, you get some visible light coverage, so you're getting protection from blue light which can worsen melasma."
