The Best Tinted Sunscreens for Radiant and Protected Skin

Skinbetter has long been a favorite of those who prefer a mineral sunscreen, as it’s one of the most blendable options out there. Their new broad-spectrum Tone Smart SPF is a tone-adapting formula that’s oil-free, water-resistant and provides just a hint of color, for a perfect no-makeup-makeup look. It’s also incredibly hydrating, and the SPF 75 provides an impressive level of protection.

Saie’s cult-favorite Sunvisor is constantly sold out, but it’s well worth the wait. The mineral-based, ultra-hydrating SPF is a serious multitasker; it functions as a serum, moisturizer and sunscreen, with a silky smooth application that blends like a dream and has a super glowy finish.

Dr. Jart’s viral tiger grass cream is technically a color corrector, and while the product has made waves for its ability to cancel out redness and uneven tone (ideal for those of us combating rosacea!), it also has SPF 30. It starts out green, but after applying it you’ll see how it corrects the redness and leaves you with a subtle, natural glow.

Sensitive and oily skin types will love this mineral-based tinted SPF from Sun Bum; it’s fragrance-free and has a nice, creamy texture that blends out into a matte finish. It also acts as a lightweight primer, for super smooth makeup application if you want to go for a glam moment.

Supergoop’s Glowscreen SPF 40 is a go-to for that super dewy, glazed donut vibe, and the brand recently launched the beloved formula in a new shade, for an all-over illuminizer that adds a healthy, bronze-y dash of color.

Colorescience is behind a few of my favorite mineral SPFs, but their latest launch has quickly become one of my go-to options. It’s a light- to medium-coverage formula that comes in four different shades; it starts out white, but then seamlessly blends out and adapts to your skin tone, with a luminous finish that’s not too glowy and not too matte.

Elta MD is another of tried and true SPF brand for me, and while they make tons of great sunscreens, lately I’ve been playing favorites and sticking with their tinted UV Glow SPF 36. It’s a sheer, hydrating formula that’s packed with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide; it’s also super brightening and is perfect when you want a glazed glow.

Tower 28’s tinted sunscreen is beloved by beauty insiders, and for good reason. It’s a broad spectrum mineral SPF that offers light- to medium-coverage, and it’s specifically made for those with sensitive skin. It’s super gentle and has a nice natural finish, plus it comes in 14 shades.

I first came across Isdin after my longtime dermatologist recommended the brand for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I’m a big fan of their Melatonik and their hyaluronic acid serums, as well as the mineral SPFs. I use both the non-tinted and tinted formulas, but the latter is ideal when you want a subtle wash of color. Not only does this SPF protect you from harmful rays and add a nice tint, but it also helps to reverse sun damage, thanks to a blend of peptides and antioxidants, as well as the brand’s DNA Repairsomes complex.

This serum-foundation-SPF hybrid is an impressive three-in-one product, and so perfect for summer. It’s a skincare-first formula, with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and green tea, with buildable medium-coverage.

This new SPF 50 is hydrating, nourishing and leaves your skin with a lightly tinted radiant glow.

Beloved French drugstore brand Avène has a dependable tinted mineral SPF that’s great for sensitive, irritable skin; it contains niacinamide and thermal water. This is a lightweight, blendable option, and it’s unscented and doesn’t pill.

This physical sunscreen leaves you with a natural, complexion-enhancing, barely-there tint of color.

Laspa’s organic matte tinted sunscreen comes in five shades.
