    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
    It is a mineral (physical) sunscreen, using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to shield against UVA and UVB rays. Added antioxidants also help defend against visible light, high-energy visible (HEV) light, and infrared exposure.
    How much should I apply and how often do I reapply?
    Apply liberally about 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply at least every two hours. If you are swimming or sweating heavily, reapply more often and consider a water-resistant formula.
    Will it leave a white cast?
    It is designed to be lightweight and residue-free, so it wears more comfortably than many traditional mineral sunscreens. As with any zinc-based formula, blending it in well helps it settle evenly into the skin.
    Can sensitive or reactive skin use it?
    Mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are generally well tolerated and gentle, and this formula includes aloe to help calm the skin. It suits normal to oily, normal to dry, and combination skin.
    When do I apply it in my routine?
    Sunscreen goes on as the final step of your morning skincare, after moisturizer and before makeup. Give it a few minutes to set before layering anything else on top.

    Good sunscreen for face for oily skin and normal skin

    Makenzie I.

    This new SPF is so so so so soooooo good. I've used the same mineral spf for about 4 years because I was convinced nothing would beat it, and nothing did. It was an SPF 30 which I was fine with but always wanted a 50 mineral I could wear. ENTER. THIS. SUNSCREEN. It's so lightweight on the skin and for the insane amount of actives (20.2% zinc and titanium combined) not really sure how they did it. I think certain skin types could eliminate a moisturizer. It's hydrating and leaves a pretty radiant...

    Kylee K.

    This is a great facial sunscreen, I highly recommend it.

    Gracie N.

    I’m a big fan of the SUZANOBAGIMD line so I had high expectations for this new mineral sunscreen. It goes on smooth, isn’t greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast from the mineral or weird color from the tint. I wore it under makeup and didn’t have any issues with it impacting my foundation. I highly recommend this product.

    Jennifer M.

    This is the best sunscreen I have ever used. It goes on very easily and doesn't feel heavy. It blends well on my skin tone and I look natural. Or I can wear it under foundation for more coverage. Love it.
