I test the pricey Tizo Ultra Zinc Face and Body SPF 40 sunscreen. Does it live up to its price tag?

aveeno positively mineral spf50 review

Aveeno Positively Mineral SPF50 (sensitive skin) (★★★★★)

February 16, 2022April 3, 20251 Comment

The Aveeno positively mineral sunscreen is a high scoring, UV blocking powerhouse. Despite being somewhat thin when spread, this sunscreen provided strong and consistent coverage!

February 14, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

A review of the Missha No.23 B.B. Cream SPF42 PA+++ sunscreen. A very consistent performer which blocks 85% of UV irradiance!

Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF30 (Tangerine & Vanilla) review (★★★★)

February 13, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

I test the Badger Broad spectrum SPF30 kids sunscreen. Its high viscosity leads to higher protection from UV rays.

I test the Cocokind facial daily SPF32 sunscreen for its UVA, UVB, and UVI blocking abilities. The results are surprising!
