Waxhead Light Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 31

Being Asian, I am prone to hyperpigmentation and this sunscreen checks every single box. Highly rated by the EWG for safety, it has the highest percentage of non-nano uncoated zinc oxide that I have seen on the market. Being in Southern California, I do a lot of driving and am always trying to get some extra protection on my driving side and feel confident that this sunscreen gets the job done. I have not had any new dark spots on my face. It is also waterproof and one application lasts me the whole day if I don’t sweat excessively. While it is mineral based and can be a little goopy to spread it is worth the extra effort. I combine it with a vitamin c serum to make it easier to apply. It can feel heavy on the face at times, especially during the summer months but I find that is a small price to pay for such great coverage. I consider this sunscreen a beauty product and it is part of my everyday routine. If I find that it gets a bit oily, I use a powder over it and it sits nicely on my face. I have the tinted version as well so it acts like a foundation for me. This has become one of my holy grail products. Please don’t ever stop making this, it’s that good!

Blends in great and protects your face. It gave my skin a subtle glow that brought many compliments. The scent is a little weird, like clay.

Amazing! I have cool ,pale olive skin. This actually blends into my skin better than most foundations. It is really moist. I love that bc I have older skin. But I can see how some people would be turned off by the stickiness. I like the glow. I LOVE how there's no beeswax in this formula since that breaks me out. Wonderful how I'm not allergic to this when I'm allergic to a lot of cosmetics.

The color is perfect for my fair complexion, and the texture made it easy to apply. Unfortunately, it leaves too much of a shine on my aging face. If it was more of a matte finish, I'd give it 5 stars.

Best tinted facial sunscreen I have used. Has very few ingredients and has high ratings on EWG. Bought both shades and mix it together depending how much tan I like that day. I use it instead of foundation. It even covers my rosacea.

I have tried many sunscreens over the years. This one is the best I've tried. I'm fair skinned, redheaded, and 57 with sensitive skin. This one protects wonderfully, it looks like a dewy, beautiful foundation, goes on easily, and I don't even have to wear face make up, now. This will be the only face and neck sunscreen I will use. I love that it is a vegan formula, and doesn't harm the sea creatures, being reef safe. I find that the big tube is a great price for all you are getting! Thank you to the company that makes it!

I did NOT like this sunscreen. Background -- I use lots of different tinted and non-tinted mineral sunscreens. I've tried Colorescience (love! zinc oxide + titanium oxide)), Coppertone pure for face (24% zinc oxide -- super cheap and one of my FAVORITES), EltaMD (great!), LaRoche Posay (also great!) and so I'm used to how mineral sunscreens look and feel. I want to make sure I use non-nano minseral sunscreen (which Colorescience and many others are), and I had read great things about Waxhead. So I was extremely excited to try it. I did NOT like it. You have to shake it quite well to get it mixed (and this is true of all mineral sunscreens....but despite shaking and squeezing the tube to try and mix everything up evenly), I kept on getting a combo of runny clear liquid/oil and weird streaks of color. Also, the color is weird (and I understand that the tint can be different....and I've like the colors of all the other mineral sunscreens I've tried before even though they're not exactly the same) -- but Waxhead was SUCH a weird color! No matter how much rubbing, I could NOT get it to not look like a hot mess on my face. Also, I've learned years ago that you don't want dry/dead skin on your face "catching" the tinted mineral sunscreen -- so my face is always routinely exfoliated. When I put on my other types of mineral sunscreen (both tinted and and non-tinted), I wasn't having this issue. When I got the new tube of Waxhead tinted sunscreen, my face looked absolutely crazy because the tint just is a WEIRD color and the consistency of the sunscreen is chunky despite lots of shaking/mixing. Maybe I got a bad tube (after all, the other reviews online and on amazon are great!). But all I can say is that I did NOT like the Waxhead tube of tinted sunscreen that I got from Amazon. Never again!

Most tinted mineral sunscreens look orange on me, but this one doesn’t. The formula is very rich and moisturizing, I can eliminate using a moisturizer underneath so that saves time, and my face still feels dewey by late afternoon. For this reason alone I will plan to try their untinted version too. The pale pinkish tone is actually a lovely blush color for me, so I treat it as a cream blush and layer it over other sunscreens or makeup when I want a glowy blush just on my cheeks. What some have described as a weird scent is just a faint natural smell of olive oil which you only notice while applying, and just emphasizes the extent that this is a product of clean, natural ingredients.
