The bottle also small enough to put in my purse. Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk: No white cast at all, and cheap to boot. Might be my favorite of the 3, all considered. There is alcohol, but it's pretty low on the ingredient list (the middle of a long list). Make P:rem Blue Ray Sun Fluid (blue cap): almost no white cast, or at least definitely less than the Defense Me, and not as thick since it's not a cream. Make P:rem UV Defense Me Cream (orange cap): some white cast, particularly if your skin is not well moisturized beforehand, but if your skin is not dry/dehydrated, the white cast isn't bad. I've used the following, based on recommendations from Liah Yoo and Gothamista: Neostrata/Exuviance sheer daily protector spf 50 has a very light tan tint, which shows up as a cast on me but could work if you are lighter. Skinceuticals physical fusion spf 50 is very liquidy and the tint is neutral, makes me look ashy but if you don't have a yellow undertone could work. The first two have more of a thick lotion texture, while the other three are very silicone-y.Ĭotz face spf 40 is also like a silicone primer, tint is more neutral.

Jan marini physical protectant spf 45, Skinmedica essential mineral defense spf 32, Replenix ultimatte spf 50, Bareminerals prime time bb spf 30, and Mybody protect & serve tinted sun shield spf 30 all have quite yellow-toned tints and offer light coverage. I can just barely see the murad one, the bareminerals has no cast. You definitely want to get a tinted formula!īareminerals prep step 50 and Murad city skin spf 50 both have kind of peachy tints that take away the cast. Mineral spf filters produce a white cast, as well as certain mattifying ingredients like silica. I don't have any mixed formulas to recommend, because they usually have octinoxate which I'm allergic to. I switched to chemical spf because I realized zinc dries me out, but I have tried SO MANY mineral sunscreens I have a lot to recommend. I usually am around NC35-37, and I really hate any kind of cast because I don't wear foundation every day so even a small cast is quite visible.
