UV Shield SPF 45
i absolutely loved this sunscreen. it ticked off all the boxes in my checklist for good sunscreens.
this is a hybrid sunscreen (im not sure why the information on picky says it’s mineral) with 9% zinc oxide and 7.5% oxinoxate. it is broad spectrum, spf 45, oil free and lightweight. it’s marketed for face and body, for oily to normal skin.
true to their claim, this is very lightweight and hydrating. the texture is thick and lotion like, but it does not feel heavy at all. it spreads easily and absorbs quickly. the finish is a little hard to describe, it’s not entirely matte, nor does it feel dewy. it’s a good balance between the two. reapplication is easy as well, still smooth, and does not pill. my skin doesnt get oilier than normal later in the day when i use this either. this is fragrance free too and doesnt have any weird scent despite it.
here’s my fave bit: it leaves absolute NO whitecast. ZERO. and im a dark skinned POC. do you know how rare it is to find a sunscreen with physical filters that doesnt leave me looking like a bad boo cosplayer???
this comes in a pretty large 85g/3oz squeeze tube with a flip cap. simple, straight forward design that’s typical to eltaMD. i like the thin and tall tube bc it occupies less space on my shelf.
this is very expensive, especially if you buy it at full price. i got mine at a sale so im not too fussed but it’s US$27 full price, which oof.
will i pay full price for this? if i were richer, sure. for now, full price is very much out of my budget.
will i repurchase this? yeah, id grab a tube or two when i find a sale next time.
