Good Molecules Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, 1.7 oz | Zinc oxide mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast. Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection for all skin tones.

I work on boats. I am in the sun alllll day every day so you can trust that I’ve tried any and all worth while sunscreens. I’ve spent so much money trying to find one that checks all of the boxes just to finally find this product that does that and THEN some for such an affordable price. I would pay five times what this costs for this sunscreen.After years, I have ended up being loyal to blue lizard for my face sunscreen. And even that has been settling considering it leaves a white cast and my skin looks greasy all day. This was still the best I could do for the clean ingredients I was looking for.This Good Molecules mineral sunscreen is UNREAL. It goes on almost like a primer. It’s buttery smooth and a little goes a longggg way. Not only does it leave zero cast, but it actually matte’s my skin… my skin looks smooth with no shine all day. I will say it’s not the strongest SPF so most people will probably have to reapply once halfway through the day but I wish I would have found this sooner. I haven’t tried makeup over it yet but I bet it would go on top of this beautifully.Buy it. Buy it. Buy it.

Great price and works terrific. I love how it feels on my face. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t have a greasy feel to it. Love this product. Will buy it again.

Good Molecules Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30I've been through hundreds of sunscreens in the last few years to find one that's fragrance-free, non-endocrine disrupting, and free of known problematic chemicals. Balancing that with no thick, greasy, or sticky after-feel, no obvious white cast (med to light skin tone), & proper UVA/UVB SPF protection has been almost impossible. This is the best I've found after an exhaustive search through all types of formulas & applications (lotions, sticks, sprays).PROS• Broad Spectrum, SPF 30• Free of EWG's stated endocrine-disrupting chemicals, known at time of posting• Absorbs quickly, Non-pilling under makeup• Light Feel: approved by Sensory members of the family (to date, the only other approvedsunscreen is a dry-touch, chemically-laden spray)• Great for most Sensitive Skin: non-nano, zinc oxide (13.3%) based, fragrance-free formula.No: titanium dioxide, silicones, or heavy ingredients to clog poresnote: for individuals sensitive to chemical filters (found in most sunscreens, including mineral &many "natural" sunscreens) butyloctyl salicylate is an ingredient, so do a patch test.• Light formulation: can rub-in easily to prevent obvious white cast, but may see some lightening effect.For those with medium to dark skin tones: you will likely notice a white cast.• Small travel-size tube to try out product & for carry-on or small bagCONS• More noticeable white cast the darker your skin tone, due to the higher concentration of zinc oxide• Higher cost per ounce than other sunscreens available• No larger tube optionI continue to look for a formulation that doesn't cause the lightening effect on darker skin tones & that's more cost effective. For now, I highly recommend this sunscreen for light to medium skin tones, given my exhaustive search & that I haven't found a better sunscreen that fits all the above criteria.

I had high expectations on this product and it didn't surprise me. Not all skin types are created equal so there's that. Maybe it just wasn't for me. It is lightweight and doesn't leave a white cast, but it gives me a greasy finish on my skin that I don't like, also sometimes it stings a little bit, something that doesn't happen very often with other sunscreens. It doesn't irritate my eyes, Wich I appreciate and it does the job, good protection, as any other sunscreen. I won't be buying as I want to find a perfect fit for my skin, I don't think it's a bad product, and I will continue using it until it's finished, but I'm not fully satisfied.

***UPDATE 07/04/2024***I continued to purchase this sunscreen for the reasons I mentioned in my original review. I purchased more of this sunscreen in May 2024 and noticed that the texture of the lotion changed from when I originally purchased it back in February 2024. The original texture of the lotion was watery / goopy, which made it very easy to apply to the skin / face / facial hair / a beard; the new texture comes out thicker and worm-like from the container. This new texture corrects the issue I mentioned at the end of this review of having to hold the container sideways when applying and when not in use because it is no longer runny. It also corrects the issue of accidently squeezing out more lotion than intended.The downside is that it leaves a more noticeable white cast, particularly on facial hair / a beard. The lotion is still easy to apply to the face, skin, facial hair, a beard. I prefer the old texture of when it was runny / watery / goopy.***SEE ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW*** ⬇️The TOP REASON I WOULD RECOMMEND this sunscreen is that it is very lightweight and very easy to spread to the skin, including to facial hair / a beard, without stretching the skin. I have tried many mineral sunscreen lotions, and this one, so far, has been the easiest to apply to the skin and facial hair/a beard. Other mineral sunscreen lotions are thick and sit heavy on the skin, which is potential for stretching of the skin.I WOULD ONLY recommend applying this sunscreen to the face; use another sunscreen for the rest of the body. This sunscreen is ideal for incidental sun exposure and short periods of time out in the sun - driving locally in your vehicle, sitting near windows, or being outdoors where buildings are covering the sun.I WOULD NOT recommend for long periods of time out in the sun.Some of the reviews mentioned that this sunscreen left a white cast and left flakes on the skin - I did not experience a heavy white cast. I would say it left a faint white cast. It did, however, look flakey after it had dried. This is the primary reason why I wouldn't recommend spending long periods of time out in the sun with this sunscreen, while the other reason would be the moderate concentration of zinc oxide. The flakiness did not completely wash out. The flakiness only occurred on my face and forehead; it did not occur on my neck.ADDITIONAL COMMENTS (04/27/2024):As I previously mentioned, I highly recommend this sunscreen because of how easy it is to apply to the face, without stretching the skin. The ease of application is a main factor one should consider when purchasing sunscreen - your skin is like a rubber band and stretching it over time causes it to remain stretched. It also contains an adequate amount of zinc oxide to provide moderate UVA protection. This sunscreen is only meant for the face. Considering the amount of zinc, it only leaves a faint white cast.I am not experiencing the amount of dry flakes as when I first started using this product.Because this sunscreen is runny, do not leave it face down. Instead, lay it flat. Be careful when opening the product and when squeezing the contents out, as sometimes more lotion than desired may come out.

Lightweight & leaves no white residue, I love it!!

Short review: Mid-tier sunscreen, pretty clean ingredients with mineral actives only. No white cast (or minimal), rubs in well, liquidy texture. Somewhat waxy feeling, satin to matte finish. NOT for hyper sensitive skin, especially if oils bother you. Causes mild burning sensations for a bit when applied.Longer review:I've had this sunscreen a while, and it was ok. I've had it for almost a year and didn't finish it off, if that says anything.It does blend in well, white cast sinks in quickly but the texture is... kind of waxy? Definitely somewhat tacky at first, but not in a sticky way. That goes away after a while, and ultimately the finish is somewhere between satin and matte. I prefer dewy or dewy-satin, so others might appreciate the more natural finish. Semi-moisturizing, but nothing special. I'd basically only reach for this if I knew it was gonna be really sunny out, and even then - extra sunny days I'd just go for Banana Boat.Very liquidy, which I did like because I hate thick sunscreens that are hard to rub in. But in the end, my main gripe with it is it causes burning and irritation on my hyper sensitive skin. I have to tolerate it in order to not get sunburn, but generally the irritation lasts 5-10 minutes, it wasn't too bad. (But your skincare shouldn't burn, but I hate wasting products!).

I love this sunscreen! I always buy it because it's mineral-based, so I feel like it's gentler on my skin. The price is great, and if you blend it in really well, it doesn't leave a white cast. The only thing is that since it's SPF 30, it's a good idea to reapply it if you're going to be out in the sun for several hours. For example, I apply it in the morning and reapply it in the afternoon.

Tiene un aroma feo como medicina, deja un acabado blanco la verdad esperaba mucho más de este protector estuve utilizando el tocobo azul líquido y la verdad prefiero el tocobo

I have been trying mineral sunscreens for health reasons and this is BY FAR the best I've tried. I have NOT been impressed with white cast and how hard it is to apply the others due to thickness. This one is easy to apply, minimal to no white cast, and does not feel heavy or sticky on my skin. I actually prefer the other sunscreen from Good Molecules, but this one is great. Extremely expensive from Amazon can be purchased for less other places, but it was worth the cost to me to be able to try this one. Happy to report I have finally found a mineral sunscreen that is worth the cost

It's cheaper to buy on their website, but they were out of stock for a whiiiile and buying on here saved me!!! This is my favourite sunscreen, goes on super well under makeup, not sticky or weird, 10/10 recommend!!!

Pues el tubo venía medio lleno de aire, cosa que no me agradó. En cuando al producto está bien, te deja una capa blanca.

Having a combination skin, this works very well and I chose it cause of the mineral ingredients and the white cast was barely visible. Also mixing it with L'oreal lumi gold made my face look warm and radiant.
