Any mineral sunscreen is a good bet if your skin is on the sensitive side, but this one takes it one step further; it's also free of fragrance and parabens, and is hypoallergenic. Not to mention that it also has a UVA protection rating of PA++++. This rating system indicates the level of protection against UVA rays, the ones responsible for aging, and this just happens to be the highest possible.
In our experience, sunscreens tend to feel either too greasy, or, on the flip side, oddly drying. This newbie strikes just the right balance. Hydrating raspberry seed oil, marula oil and a subtle tint leave skin fresh and glowy, but not overly slick. Antioxidants are another important player when it comes to sunscreen, scavenging up free radicals caused by exposure to UV rays, and this formula contains multiple different ones to up the protection ante.
So, here's the thing with sunscreen: You have to reapply every two hours. We totally get that IRL that seems totally tedious and unattainable, but with this handy-dandy powder, it's one million percent doable. Dust it on whenever, wherever for complete protection that won't mess up your makeup. And if you're not wearing makeup, the pigmented powder (available in four shades) doubles as a complexion perfector.
Murad for the multi-tasking win. Broad-spectrum protection? Check. Protection against blue light emitted from all your electronic devices? Check. Protection from infrared radiation? Check. (FYI, it's not just the sun's UVA and UVB rays that are damaging, these last two are also problematic.) And as if all that weren't enough, it also keeps harmful pollution particles from adhering to your skin, and touts a color-correcting, brightening, peach tint.
This may look thick and white coming out of the tube, but trust us, it rubs in completely clear and without any residue. Plus, not only does this mineral sunscreen newbie deliver the requisite sun protection, it also contains deep sea enzymes that strengthen the skin's natural defenses against extreme sun and heat, ideal for a day the beach. And anyone who is sick of tropical-scented sunscreens will appreciate that this one smells ever-so-slightly floral (yet has no added fragrance).
