Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Gentle Lotion, Broad Spectrum SPF + Antioxidants, Face & Body Sunscreen, Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide, Oxybenzone Free, Oil Free

I searched far and wide for a safe mineral-based sunscreen for pregnancy. I settled on this one and I was not disappointed. It saved my skin from a lot of sunburn this summer! As other reviewers mentioned, it is harder to rub into the skin and can leave a whiteish tint, but that’s a small price to pay for a pregnancy-safe option.

At 68 yrs of age, wish I had discovered this product earlier in my life. Having said that, better late than never. This excellent, premium product works wonders protecting and healing my ultra sensitive, rosacea-prone facial skin. The sunscreen applies with little effort given its silky smooth texture. I’ll be a regular user of this product in the future.

This is my MUST HAVE sunscreen. I've had almost every type of skin cancer (thankfully, caught early), so I NEED good sun protection, especially on my face. I have very fair skin. This product leaves a bit of a white cast, but after a short period of time, that white case is absorbed. The white cast of a mineral sunscreen might look chalky on a person with darker skin. The BEST thing about this sunscreen is I can put it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL. The other well-known sunscreen I used for a long time really made my eyes sting if a bit got into them. This is my favorite sunscreen of all time.

So, this product has some amazing qualities about it but it’s also not the most cosmetically elegant formula out there (I use it on my face/neck/hands). Some of the pros and cons overlap - allow me to explain. Pros: the ingredients are extremely non-irritating and I really trust the safety of this product; you can see where you are putting it because it is paste-like; the coverage is full and I feel very protected when I wear it; it is sweat proof; wears well under makeup and actually helps keep makeup on longer; it is a high SPF mineral sunscreen which typically provides better broad spectrum protection, does not degrade when exposed to UV rays, and is effective as soon as you apply it (chemical sunscreens work entirely differently and take 20 minutes to be absorbed and thus effective). Cons: It is paste-like, so it leave a slight white cast which does diminish a bit after 10 minutes or so, and rubbing it in thorough helps too (I am Caucasian & a 3 on the Fitzpatrick skin typing scale); because it is sweat/water proof, it sometimes leaves a residue on my fingers after I apply it & it makes taking my makeup off in the evening more difficult as well, so I always have to double or triple wash In summation, this is a great sunscreen that I will continue to use because I trust it. I prefer to wear this one under makeup because the white cast can be covered up. If I had a lighter skin tone that would not matter so much. For days I don’t wear makeup I am interested to find a tinted mineral SPF that I trust as much as this one but won’t break the bank. This one is a great value.

Very lightweight sunscreen! A little goes a long way! I was nervous to spend the money on this, but I’m glad I did! Doesn’t block my pores or cause any breakouts. Make sure you use very small amount and add to it as needed. I thought it was like normal sunscreen, so I put a lot and realized it was way too much for my face.

Not moisturizing at all and leaves white cast

Great coverage that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. Definitely goes on white but blends quickly into my very fair, sensitive skin. I’m so happy to have found a mineral sunscreen I can use in my daily routine!

Do not buy this!! I went to the beach & put this all over my body. I laid out for an hour before getting into the ocean. It definitely left a white cast and the it was coming out of my pours so I kept rubbing it back in. I got so sunburned it hurt to shower. My friends put on spf 15 tanning oil and they were all fine. I was the only one that put on this ”sunblock spf 50” and looked like a lobster. My body normally does not burn. Money wasted. I will not use this again and unfortunately I can’t return it because I used it. I do not recommend.
