The Best Mineral Face Sunscreens to Wear Every Single Day

Tatcha’s silky smooth SPF is a sheer, blendable, offers broad spectrum sun protection and happens to be great as a primer. It’s one of the best options for a variety of skin tones, though it’s definitely on the pricier side.

This mineral SPF 50 is another reliable, blendable option, and it also leaves behind the loveliest luminescent glow, for a highlighter-sun protection combo.

The beauty industry has a long ways to go in terms of inclusivity, especially in expanding their shade ranges for darker skin tones. Live Tinted is considered one of the best options for darker skin tones, as it has a minimal—if any—white cast.

Summer Fridays just debuted this mineral SPF this year, and it’s gotten rave reviews for good reason. It has a lightweight, milky texture, and also contains hydrating squalane and antioxidants.

Bliss’ latest mineral SPF is lightweight, hydrating and has a minimal (if any!) cast, depending on your skin tone.

Eminence Organics is behind one of my all-time favorite SPFs; it’s an ultra-moisturizing mineral formula that doesn’t irritate sensitive skin and has a delightful natural fragrance that’s decidedly un-sunscreen-like. It’s a great moisturizer-SPF duo.

I have not one bad thing to say about this sunscreen, which is from one of my all-time favorite brands (the Youth Serum and Eye Cream are *chef’s kiss*), and leaves zero white cast. It’s admittedly on the more expensive side, but it’s also packed with nourishing and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, because you know how much we love a good hybrid product over here. It has a nice dewy finish, too.

Isdin’s Eryfotona Actinica SPF is easily one of the most lightweight, water-like consistencies of any mineral SPF I’ve ever tried. It’s also incredibly blendable, though it does have a bit of a scent. Not only will it protect you from the sun, but it also works to repair existing sun damage thanks to a special blend of DNA repairsomes.

Use Murad’s mineral SPF serum as the last step in your skincare routine; it has a satiny, lightweight texture and works to both protect your skin and help correct discoloration and pigmentation from prior sun damage.

Evereden’s hydrating SPF 50 is another lightweight and blendable option, but does have a bit of that classic sunscreen scent. It’s one of the most conveniently packaged sunscreens for those on the go, since you can simply clip it onto your bag.

Native’s unscented mineral face sunscreen is great for those with super sensitive skin, and while it definitely takes a minute to rub in, it doesn’t leave behind a major chalky cast once you’ve blended it out.

Sun Bum’s non-tinted mineral SPF is technically fragrance-free, but still has that delightful coconut-banana-esque scent that the brand is known for. This is a matte finish sunscreen that’s great for oily and sensitive skin, and also works well as a primer.

This SPF 30 is a solid, ultra-hydrating choice for anyone with dry and sensitive skin.

This lightweight SPF is just plain luxurious; it blends like an absolute dream and is so nourishing. We also love the brand’s sunscreen body mist and shimmery oil, for an effortless, bronzed glow.

For a lightweight tinted mineral sunscreen, you can’t do much better than EltaMD’s glowy SPF 36, which is one of my favorite formulas when I want a bit of coverage and sun protection all in one. It has a dewy, bronzy finish, so it’s best if you’re not going for a matte complexion.

Supergoop’s Sheerscreen is always a reliable choice; my only complaint is how fast I go throw the rather small bottle.

I absolutely love a good multitasking product, and Saie’s Sunvisor is a total powerhouse—it’s a serum, moisturizer, SPF and oil all in one. It blends beautifully and has the perfect glazed donut finish.

Project Reef’s SPF 50 is packed with aloe vera, coconut, sea buckthorn oil and antioxidants including green tea, pomegranate and raspberry extract, which protect, hydrate and even out skin tone. Even better, for every bottle purchased, the brand removes a pound of plastic from the oceans.

Even the most reactive and sensitive skin types can rely on this mineral SPF, as it’s specially made for post-procedure skin.

This Australian brand’s natural sunscreen truly melts into your skin; it’s hydrating, moisturizing, protective and even has firming properties.

If you have oilier skin or simply prefer a matte finish, try this creamy SPF 50. It does contain vitamin C, so if you’re sensitive to the antioxidant, it might not be the best choice for you.
