MDSolarSciences Mineral Moisture Defense SPF 50 Sunscreen for Body and Face

Five stars for the excellent broad spectrum protection it provides. And for the fact it has an excellent EWG rating. And for the fact that it does not leave a white cast. I have very fair skin, but even so, many mineral sunscreens I have tried have left a white/blue cast. Not this one. It actually looks like a very pale nude shade coming out of the tube and that disappears into the skin. It is very slippery. You have to rub it in well. If I'm not going to put anything else on my face, I can just rub this in and go. It will feel moist to the touch for an hour or two. I usually set it with a finishing powder but even then it will remain moist to the touch for a while. But it makes it easier to apply a powder blush without it grabbing too much of the blush and giving me clown cheeks. Even though it feels moist to the touch for awhile, it does not give a moist or dewy or god forbid greasy appearance. It is fairly matte. but I have normal to slightly dry skin. Might be different on oily skin. Bottom line, even though I don't really care for the initially moist feel it has when I touch my face, I love the look of it and I love the truly excellent protection it gives. I am obsessed with daily sunscreen protection and have been for nearly 20 years. I've tried dozens. They get better and better and there are other really good ones out there. EltaMD all mineral spf 47 is hard to beat for a face, neck, body application. As is Thinkbaby. But this MDSolar product is my choice at present for a daily facial application. I love it.

This is a great product. I tried this as an alternative to the Daily Defense Moisturizer. As someone who is menopausal and has lots of symptoms, I sweat out of the top of my head a lot. I mean A LOT. Like a waterfall. I was getting frustrated with the fact that I was wiping my daily moisturizer off when I sweat, so I decided to try this product. This is so nice. It's really lightweight and goes on so smoothly. It's got a slight silicone-like feel, but it's not sticky or too slick. Also the smell is not too fragrant. No matter how much my head leaks, that stuff stays on and keeps my face covered. It's now my go-to for days when I know I'm going to need something waterproof. One thing to note: When you initially put it on, it does have a light white cast to it. But it eventually fades away after a few minutes. I have a medium skin tone and a few minutes after putting it on, it's no longer noticeable.

This stuff has SUCH a greasy finish. If that doesn't bother you, this could be your holy grail body sunscreen. It has no scent, it spreads easily, it has pretty much zero white cast, and it is SUPER waterproof. (When I showered, there were droplets all over where I applied this sunscreen--like the water was just sliding off my skin--and it took a lot of body wash and rubbing to remove.) I will not be repurchasing it because I can't stand feeling greasy in any way.

Great product that really works. Used it for a water park and body surfing on the beach, reapplied every 3 hours, no one got burned. It's pricey ,so we used it on our faces only, and we can see that it worked much better than other sunblocks we used on our bodies. We all pretty much got zero color on our faces during vacation. My kids don't mind reapplying it because it goes on fast without any rubbing in and has no smell. I myself use it daily under my make-up. Yes, as all mineral sunblocks, this one has a VERY faint white sheen to it ( much less than any other expensive mineral sunblock I have used over the years) and you can add a tiny drop of a liquid bronzer to help with it. You can also try this brand's version of it in a pink tube that is formulated specifically for the face-- I have used both and the face one is slightly thinner, but it is almost as twice as expensive and ,in my opinion, nearly identical and not worth the price difference.

My LO is very fair [strawberry blond on right hand side in photo]. We used to use a different high rated "natural" product, but ended up trying MD Solar Sciences after LO had a photosensitive reaction to the other product. We have not looked at anything else after getting this. No reactions at all. Use it all the time and LO has never burned. Doesn't mind having it put on either, which is huge. Texture is silky and rubs in very easily. I hated the paste like sunscreens. Haven't had it stain clothes, but I am also careful and if it has come into contact with clothes, it has come out. Only negative is that it sometimes separates which is easily fixed by shaking. [We have multiple tubes going and one in backpack is exposed to temperature fluctuations which may be why issue. But still protects fair skin like crazy]. Love!

I bought this for daily use on my face as it came highly recommended by several dermatologists. Pros: it offers great protection, water resistance, minimal white cast on my very fair skin, no fragrance to trigger migraines (Yay!), it’s easy on eyes (no stinging!), comes off easily with double cleanse, and my skin feels great after using. Cons: This sunscreen never fully dries down on my dry skin even without moisturizer and/or primer under it. Hours after application my skin still feels oily to the touch. It’s full of silicone so it’s very slippery. It was a challenge to get makeup to stay on my nose and chin yet it caused makeup to settle into some fine smile lines. Overall: This product is worth a try as it has many benefits. It could be a good sport sunscreen. It just doesn’t work for my particular daily facial sunscreen needs.

This is my favorite foundation. It goes on well and covers evenly, leaving a flawless, smooth finish that does not look greasy or oily. It leaves a light, matte finish. Highly recommended.

Expensive, but I really like it goes on smooth and I don’t wear makeup on my face it’s not greasy your face, absorbs it and feel smooth and it’s not white or changes color on your face your face absorbs it. I recommended it to three friends are very health conscious and they all have ordered it. And they love it too!

Have tried many products. This one is quite good. Goes on easily. I'm medium complexion, does leave a little white tint on face at first, but does go away. Product is a little greasy.Almost 20% oxides, great protection. A little pricey though. Will buy again till something better comes along.

It blends in very well, there is a tiny bit of white cast initially, however it fades away after sometime (which is unusual for physical sunscreens). This leaves the skin moistured, very effective for dry and sensitive skin. As this can be applied to both face and body, it is very convenient and cost effective.
