Sunscreen has come a LONG way!
I'm thrilled that I have found a sunscreen that is everything I need and want it to be! Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF30 is far from the sunblock we slathered on as kids, as this formula is not only a SPF, but a blue light protector and great for your skin! The squeeze tube (containing ...

Best mineral sunscreen
100% the best daily mineral sunscreen out there. Very hydrating for my dry skin, gives a dewy look, no pilling whatsoever, does not cause breakouts. There is some minimal white cast, but the skin benefits outweigh this. Used to use Aveda but this one is more hydrating. Tried all the Goop mineral formulas but those all pill, and leave my skin dry to the point where it feels tight. And they leave more white cast, with the exception of the tinted version which stains my clothes brown like a concealer.
Chemical Butyloctyl Salicylate not true Mineral Sunscreen
Butyloctyl Salicylate or any Salicylates in sunscreens is not a true Mineral Sunscreen! This gave rash going on 2 days now. I did deep dive into ingredients. At this price point why use Butyloctyl Salicylate? Do better dermalogica! I do not recommend for price and chemical Butyloctyl salicylate trying to pass it off for Mineral sunscreen.
Excellent product. No white shadow
