The Babo Botanicals daily sheer tinted SPF30 is a solid mineral based formulation!

The Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 sunscreen spray is an absolute beast of a sunscreen spray. Amazing!

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022Leave a comment

A typically performing sunscreen for an SPF 30. I do like the name and tube design though.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Wet Force SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

October 26, 2022October 26, 2022Leave a comment

Wet Force Ultimate Sun Protector. Like a Japanese superhero coming to save you from the sun. I kid, but it really does!

Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

October 26, 2022October 27, 2022Leave a comment

With a consistency like milk, this Missha Sun Milk protects exceptionally well. Whether it withstands use in an active environment however, is questionable.

October 19, 2022October 20, 2022Leave a comment

A highly effective UV protecting daily facial moisturizer. Performs better than some sunscreen only formulations.

A very high performing acne sensitive SPF 50 sunscreen lotion. Recommended.

cle de peau BEAUTE (Shiseido) SPF 22 protective fortifying emulsion (★★★)

October 3, 2022October 4, 2022Leave a comment

More a moisturizer than a sunscreen, but the protection is as good as one could expect from an SPF 22.

Trader Joes Zinc Oxide SPF 30 Mineral sunscreen spray (★★★)

September 29, 2022September 29, 2022Leave a comment

A run of the mill SPF 30. Nothing more nothing less. The sunscreen testing sample also showed rapid evaporation, so there's that.

Pacifica Beauty Mineral Bronzing Body Butter SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

September 28, 2022September 29, 2022Leave a comment

Strong protection from a mineral based bronzing (tinted) Zinc Oxide sunscreen. Recommended.

The highest performing chemical based sunscreen I have tested to date. Way to go SVR!

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50 PA++++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★)

September 20, 2022January 18, 20251 Comment

Rice and probiotics. Its not the latest health food craze, but rather, a strong performing sunscreen. Overlooking its tendency to evaporate of course....

Alba Botanica Sheer Shield Sweet Pea SPF 45 Sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

September 18, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

A very strong performer from a brand that I've begun to trust. Great price/performance!

A very competent tinted sunscreen. Yes tinted. Definitely recommended.

Worst UV blocking sunscreen I have ever tested. Too bad, because everyone loves and uses it.
