In this Bee & You Skincare Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Cream review, I test an okay-ish SPF 50. Thanks again to “K” for this sunscreen!
The Bee & You Skincare Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Cream is a mineral sunscreen formula which contains Non-Nano Zinc Oxide at 22%. Strangely enough, when searching up ingredients that are listed on my tube of sunscreen, the same ingredients are indicated for the “kids” version of this product. But the ingredients listed on my tube differ from the identical product listed on their web site. The sunscreen industry is funny like that.
The Bee & You Skincare Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 50 reduced 89.01% of irradiated UVA, 87.77% UVB, and 88.93% of total UVI. Not the best for a SPF 50 rated sunscreen, but not terrible. SPF 40ish protection.

Prepared slide BEFORE testing
The Bee & You Skincare Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Cream had a mottled appearance on the prepared slide sample. Seems like the UV filtering ingredients were inconsistently mixed throughout the formula.
