Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
It gets mineral protection into a light, skin-like finish at a fair price. Antioxidant botanicals and extremolytes round out the formula.
Skip it if
You want SPF 50 for long days outdoors.
The catch
Mineral formulas can still leave a slight cast on deeper skin tones, and SPF 30 needs diligent reapplication.
