Review: great for acne-prone skin and better than colorescience - I LOVE this powdered sunscreen!! I'm about to throw a whole bunch of ways you can use it at you, so grab that cup of coffee. I promise I am not in any way affiliated with this company! I just think that a quality product should be recognized so we can all benefit. I'm no "gatekeeper" (as the kids call it - lol). I have tried many/every powdered sunscreen because I have acne-prone skin and have generally found that powder is a safer bet. I used Bareminerals loose powder foundation (matte version) for years, but they changed their colors a couple of years ago and maybe the formula a little bit too. Now, even though it is still medium-to-full coverage and has an SPF of 15 (though I realize I should have been using a higher spf all along), all the colors are far too warm for my neutral, very fair skin. I have even tried the the ridiculously expensive Colorescience that has that little brush attached to the end. It's not good, and I'd have to sell a kidney to keep buying it. Out of desperation, this acne-prone gal bit the bullet and decided to try some liquid/cream sunscreens. I have found several that don't break me out, but I find they need something to keep the finish looking good (not super shiny). Using this sunscreen on top leaves my skin looking like velvet, as another reviewer commented. I use this sunscreen over tinted sunscreen (First Aid Beauty's new Weightless Liquid Mineral Sunscreen is liquid-y and feels light but, for a more reasonably-priced and more matte option, try Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face spf 50). I still find both need this powdered sunscreen on top to last longer and look good. Plus, it's so much easier to reapply a powdered sunscreen over makeup than a cream one. If your sunscreen is a bit too warm and/or dark, you can apply this powder over it with a heavier hand/more generously, and it will tone the color beautifully! At the same time, I have to say that this does NOT have that horrible white cast, it's just going to lighten the look of your skin a little bit. If you find it to be too white, mix in some other powder (I sometimes mix it with my leftover Bare Minerals loose powder foundation to make it look less orange). It DOES offer great sun protection, but it's also a cosmetically elegant formula that you can use as a finishing powder or 'freshening' powder, even at night. It will seriously "freshen" your makeup, making it look like you've just applied it. I transferred some into a little jar with a sifter for easy portability and just popped a travel kabuki brush in my purse for easy reapplication at any time of day. Taking care of your skin is truly part of taking care of your health. You will find this to be a pleasure to use. BUY IT :)
Review: LITERALLY PERFECT for my Sensitive Skin... and surprisingly multipurpose - This has been a life-saver for me. I literally cannot say enough good things about this. It not only protects my skin from burns in an intense desert climate, it also has significantly reduced acne and irritation. It works so well that I had to do a little chemistry research to find out why it works so well... This product contains arrowroot powder, which is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn't tend to clog pores. It actually is an absorbent powder, so it pulls away excess oils that would normally give me acne breakouts. So far, research has also shown some anti-inflammatory properties in arrowroot powder. This could explain why my skin feels less red and painful. So my hatred for sunscreen has ended now that I found this product. Until now, my skin was being irritated by almost every skin product, even dermatologist prescribed ones, or sunscreen by CeraVe (which is highly recommended for acne-prone and sensitive skin)... that makes my skin oily with large pores too. So this powder sunscreen has simplified my routine drastically- in a 100% positive way. That even includes my deodorant routine... I have always struggled to find an effective deodorant with my skin sensitivities. Even natural ones with no aluminum gave me very dark rings under my arms, and the baking soda method was too harsh for my skin. So I had rashes and bumps as a constant struggle. During my research I found out that arrowroot has some great deodorant properties, because it absorbs sweat but is less harsh than baking soda. The other ingredient, Zinc Oxide, is added here as sun protectant, but it also has anti-bacterial properties that boost its deodorant abilities. That being said, I don't usually use it as a stand alone- I use a base like magnesium spray, and then pat this on top. But if I'm not going to be getting that hot, I just pat this on by itself. It lasts about 8 hours for me with moderate activity, and then I usually wipe with water and reapply. It's made life SO much easier- my dreadful war with deodorants has also ended with this lovely product. I don't have rashes under my arms or dark circles. Actually, the fact that it's white has eliminated those dark circles over time, and the skin feels healthy again. Helpful tips: Color: If you are medium to dark skinned like I am, it really helps to use a soft cloth or piece of cotton to gently wipe excess powder from your skin. (This is vital for me because it makes me look like a have chalk on my face and arms otherwise.) Powder consistency: It is super, super fine... this is part of what makes my skin feel so silky smooth, so I love it. But!! I still have to remind myself to apply it slowly, because if I pat it on too fast, I inhale some of the powder, which makes my throat dry. Patience: Figuring out how this worked best for me was trial and error. But right from the get-go I could tell I liked it. It just took a bit of research and understanding of my skin type until I found the best routine for me. When to Apply: Besides sun protection, I find it best to apply for acne-soothing uses after showering, when my skin is clean and my pores are not blocked. After moisturizing, patting this on as a last-step works best. If I put the powder on first and then try to moisturize, it will form little white clumps. For deodorant, same applies, I use it after showering. Everyone's skin care journey is different and I wish everyone the best to find what works for them! For me, this is my go-to. Please keep making this!!!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a tinted version?**
A: Not at this time

**Q: How do you apply to face? And body?**
A: For full protection on body we recommend applying an ample amount and then rubbing in to lessen white cast. For face we recommend shaking an ample amount into your hand first then applying with fingers to face or scalp, avoiding mouth and eye areas.

**Q: Is this made with non-nano zinc oxide?**
A: Yes, it is.

**Q: can i mix this with aloe vera and almond oil? and make your own cream sunscreen**
A: We do not recommend mixing this product with another ingredient because it will lower the SPF of the Sunscreen and the product may wash off easier. It will need to be reapplied more often and especially after water exposure or activity. But, we do make a cream sunscreen with moisturizing avocado oil!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this
*by B***H on April 25, 2023*

I use it on my hairline part. I have black hair and it needs a little rubbing in but it’s not any worse than any dry shampoo. I just use a q-tip to apply it only where I want it and it works fine. I also keep it in a powder case with a puff applicator to wear over my skincare during the day. It has a bit of a white caste after application, but it’s not too noticeable on me since I’m very pale, but should be noted for darker skin tones. I like that it’s a physical sun blocker that I can apply on top of my morning skincare that already includes SPF for extra protection and it doesn’t add a new greasy layer like reapplying sunscreen lotion would. I don’t wear foundation makeup, so I can’t speak to it caking or changing the shade, but I do not feel any caking when I wear it over moisturized skin.
