What the gurus are saying

This mineral formula's minimal white cast stands out: it blends smoothly without the typical chalky residue of mineral sunscreens, even on deeper skin tones, a quality reviewers find genuinely rare at this price point. The lightweight, moisturizing feel suits combo skin, and the large bottle goes far on both face and body, though you'll want something else for swimming or heavy sweating since it lacks water resistance.

"One I've tried recently is the one from Native. When I applied it, I fell in love with it, I was actually shocked with how good this felt on the skin. They did a great job with their formulation, how it feels, how it sets, and how it protects. It's SPF 30, so it's not going to have so much zinc that it leaves a white cast on everybody, but if you have deeper, darker skin tones you'll probably notice a bit of a white cast on your face if you're applying the right amount. It's a massive bottle, so you can use it on body and face, and you get more bang for your buck at an affordable price point."

"You can find something like the Native Unscented Mineral Face Lotion SPF 30, which is a big part of their ad campaign is just, hey, this is pure mineral, pure mineral, pure mineral. No boosters in this product."

"It's tough for me to find a lot of body sunscreen formulas that I really love, because they can be very white cast heavy and feel kind of gross on the skin, but my favorite is the Native Unscented SPF 30 formula. It's a mineral formula that has the least amount of white cast on the skin for a body sunscreen formula that I've pretty much ever seen. It feels lightweight, it blends into the skin easily, and you can find it at Target. I will say this isn't a water resistant formula, so if you're planning on going in the ocean, spending time in the pool, or sweating a lot, you'll want something else."

The BEST Skin Care Routine for $50
"The Native unscented sunscreen with zinc oxide has a great formula that doesn't feel too heavy on the skin, is still moisturizing, but has a minimal white cast, especially for a product at this price point. I was very impressed by how minimal the white cast is. It performs well, it gets you that daily protection from the sun, and it's a simple but really good ingredient list that focuses on not only protecting your skin from the sun but also really nourishing it as well. It's a mineral formula, which is my favorite, because it's really good for anyone who has sensitive or irritated skin. It's one of my top ones I've discovered this year."
The BEST Sunscreens for Summer 2022!
"I did not have high hopes for this one, but I'm really blown away by this product, mostly because of the price point, it's sixteen dollars, it's a really good price. It has great ingredients like sunflower seed oil and avocado oil. I would give this one a white cast rating of two, but honestly it's almost at a one, you really don't notice a white cast once you rub it into the skin, it dissipates very quickly. I like this one because it's lightweight but still moisturizing to the skin, but not at an overly greasy level, which is why I think this is a really good match for anyone who has combo skin. Just off of the price point alone I am really impressed with this one, and I believe you can find it at Target and other drugstores, so it's very accessible and easy to find. If you're comfortable spending just four more dollars than the Pipette sunscreen, I definitely recommend going with this one, just because I think the formula and overall experience is so much better."

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.
