I'm incredibly sensitive and reactive to most spf, especially those of the chemical or hybrid variety. So if you're like me and only use mineral sunscreens then this list is for you!
This is my top favorite spf. It has skin tone evening benefits and wears flawlessly under makeup as a primer. Works for all skin tones and types too!

This spf is super hydrating and smells incredible. It smells like oats and is made of cold pressed argan oil so skin drinks it up but still leaves a gleaming suppleness.

This evens out redness and leaves a satin finish. Super affordable and straightforward.

Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen - Biossance
