How to Choose a Mineral Sunscreen: A Physician Selected SPF Guide

Short answer: pick by finish and by when you will use it. For an everyday base layer with no white cast, choose a sheer mineral lotion. For tinted coverage, choose a tinted mineral formula. For reapplying over makeup during the day, choose a brush on powder SPF.

Which mineral sunscreens are available?

Is mineral sunscreen good for sensitive skin?

The No Show SPF 50 uses an all mineral, non nano zinc oxide formula that is well suited to sensitive skin and works for all skin types.

Do I need sunscreen if I use retinol or acids?

Yes. Daily mineral SPF is especially important when your routine includes actives like Retinol 0.5 or exfoliating acids. Apply SPF after serums and moisturizer every morning.
