Sunscreen That’s Unseen

While we all know that SPF is the best way to protect the skin against cancer-causing UV rays—as well as signs of premature aging—finding a good facial sunscreen hasn’t always been easy. Fortunately, plant-based skincare makers have heard the call for crystal clear facial sunscreens that nourish and protect across specific skin types.

Viva Solis Mineral Lotion

Derma·E Sun Protection Mineral Powder

Why we like it: Have facial sunscreens always felt too heavy or sticky for your skin? This translucent non-nano mineral powder can be worn on its own or over makeup for a natural, flawless look. It helps absorb excess oils and is easy to reapply, for all-day sun protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays.

Mad Hippie Daily Protective Serum

Why we like it: Skin can get pretty depleted in the summer—all the more reason to give your face the combined protection of an SPF and the deep hydration of a serum. Rich in ingredients that help the skin rehydrate and retain moisture, such as buriti oil, hyaluronic acid, and those that aid recovery, like vitamin C and E, this daily serum was made for healthy summer skin. This clear mineral SPF blends beautifully and even lasts in the water for up to 80 minutes.

Skin type: All skin types

SPF level: 30+

Are you applying your sunscreen the right way?

After washing your face, apply your SPF moisture cream, let it dry and then carry on with your normal cosmetics routine. When SPF is blended with a moisturizer or foundation, it can weaken the sunscreen’s effectiveness.
