"This is a drugstore water resistant tinted mineral sunscreen that I just discovered last year and it's very good. It's SPF 30 and only comes in one shade, but they did a great job with that shade. It's not too orange and it doesn't lean too red, and it doesn't give you that chalky look that some tinted sunscreens can. It's actually a very good blendable formula that works out well for a lot of skin tones despite only offering one shade. No fragrance, no niacinamide, it's moisturizing, and it has almost a whipped consistency. This one is only water resistant up to 40 minutes, unlike the others I've mentioned which are water resistant up to 80 minutes."

"I've really been liking this Sun Bum tinted mineral sunscreen, I've been pretty impressed with it so far. I also bought the untinted one, and it's not too bad as far as a cast goes."

MUST TRY TINTED SUNSCREENS 😍 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"This is Sun Bum's tinted SPF 30 mineral sunscreen, with zinc and titanium dioxide, water resistant forty minutes. This has a really nice feel on the skin, it's a bit on the buttery side, and it has rice bran extract in it. There's no niacinamide in this product. I've been actually pretty impressed with this, it's not shiny or greasy on the skin, it just goes on like a nice moisturizer and it doesn't peel. It's got good spread to it, there's no clumping, it's not tough or sticky or tacky or anything. I'd rather enjoy this."

"This is another great drugstore sunscreen that's really easy to find and I find it really pleasant on the skin. It's a more silicone based formula, which I don't have a problem with, silicones can be really helpful for the skin to prevent trans-epidermal water loss and add a nice slip to the formula. It has a tint very similar to the Bliss Block Star sunscreen but this one is a little bit more affordable and really easy to find, I found this at Target, at drugstores, at surf shops, it's everywhere. It includes zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and ingredients like rosemary extract and rice bran. If you really don't like a silicone feel then I would not recommend this one because that's the prominent feature, but I think it can be really nice particularly if you're out and about, I reapply this all the time when I'm at the beach because it's super easy to reapply. If you're sensitive to lavender oil this is a great alternative to the Bliss Block Star. I'd give this a rating of two for white cast, not because there's much of a white cast but because of that tint, so if you're someone who's really pale this may not be applicable to your skin."

Why Your Sunscreen is NOT Working

"The Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 tinted sunscreen does have a tint to offset the white cast, and it has more of a nice slip kind of feel to the skin. I do enjoy reapplying this one, not quite as much as the Bliss one, but I use this one pretty frequently. I never notice any issues when I reapply it because of the texture and consistency. It does feel a little bit heavier than the Bliss one, but I still really enjoy using it, and it's at a great price point."

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.
