I’m switching over to mineral sunscreens! After finding out that chemical filters in sunscreens have been bleaching our coral reefs, I’ve been looking into physical/mineral ones to replace them with. 
My main requirements for a sunscreen is 1) no or minimal white cast and 2) non-greasy application as I have combo-oily skin. 
Do you guys have any recommendations? I’ve just ordered the Axis-Y No Stress Physical Sunscreen which I’ve heard good things about, but always gotta have sunscreen back ups!

Best Mineral Sunscreens

I wish it wasn’t so expensive, I got it for $24 for 50ml. One of my priciest sunscreens. Hoping they come out with a larger size!

Wow was blown away by how this applies seamlessly like a chemical sunscreen. No white cast, satin-semi matte finish and has so many great ingredients such as niacinamide and mugwort to name some. The packaging is also perfect for sunscreen with its little nozzle that dispenses a clean line, and it’s just so cute.

I wear waterproof mascara and sadly this didn’t take even half of it off, even with 4 pumps of product. So unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me but if you don’t use waterproof, should be great for you! But it’s quite expensive also so I would pick other ones over this.

My skin felt so smooth and plump after using this. It also emulsifies well and gets face makeup off well. I think it’s a nice one for sensitive, combo and dry skin and when you can splurge.

I didnt feel like this product helped even out my skin tone (at least barely) or dark spots as I had a few problem areas I was wanting to focus on. I’ve been using it for about 2-3 months.

I love the way my skin absorbs this. I was worried it may be oily but it’s very watery and immediately my skin just drinks it up. It provides some light hydration so still need moisturizer. There’s no noticeable scent, and the vitamin c derivative is ethyl ascorbic acid which is less irritating. The included sea buckthorn extract and niacinamide did seem to help with the redness and irritation I might’ve had that day. It also comes in a huge bottle that’s glass.

Recently I changed birth control methods and suddenly I have a lot of almost cystic acne, and unfortunately this serum isn’t nearly strong enough to do anything besides slight calming. So this is a great choice for people who experience minor break outs.

This serum absorbs really well into the skin without any tackiness, and kept my break outs at bay when I would get a few pimples during my period every month. I love the ingredients list which contains probiotics, and that it only has 1.5% salicylic acid so it’s gentle enough for me to use every day!

The texture felt like straight up oil gel that didn’t spread well on dry skin, though it’s advertised as a versatile first or second step cleanser. Couldn’t take off my waterproof mascara at all. It also didn’t emulsify well, I felt a greasy film on my skin after and HAD to go in with another cleanser. I’m glad I only got the trial sized version, it’s not something I would reach for.

It’s a really gentle oil cleanser that I think would be great for sensitive and/or dry skin. After washing, my skin felt like it didn’t need as much moisturizer.
