MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50 - UV Resistant, Hydrating Mineral Cream - Daily Use Sun Defense And Skin-Boosting, Vitamin-Infused, Reef-Safe Formula - Vegan, Oil Free and Unscented - 3.4 oz

I came to know this product from my sister and it’s really good! Worth the price. I hope to find the same item here in UAE.

The consistency is great and this sunscreen blends perfectly. However it makes my skin feel very very dry and sensitive. So I cannot use it.

It’s a really good sunscreen if you specially have melasma. I have combination skin and it works well controlling the oil the whole day.

5 Stars!! It works! This is so much more than sunscreen. Highly recommend. First, the lotion works-spent two active days in the Bahamian sun and this is great skin protection. No burns. Second, the matte finish is very cool and smooth. Third, the Cranberry emulsion is a special ingredient that heals the skin, reduces stress, and aids recovery. Free radicals out. Finally, packaging. Ergonomic sports design - easy to use. Believe me - this sounds obvious but it is not - I have had sunscreen containers explode with embarrassing results. These Doctors have figured it out. Brilliant.

I’ve been using the MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème Sunscreen for a little while now, and it’s quickly become my go-to sun protection. I love that it’s mineral-based — feels so much gentler on my skin compared to chemical sunscreens, and it’s perfect for my sensitive skin. The texture is creamy but lightweight, and it blends in really well without leaving that annoying white cast that some mineral sunscreens have. It’s moisturizing too, so I don’t even need to slap on extra lotion underneath. It holds up well during the day, even when I’m outside for hours, and I haven’t had any breakouts or irritation since I started using it. Plus, I feel good knowing it’s reef-safe and better for the environment. If you want an effective, gentle, and eco-friendly sunscreen that actually feels nice on your skin, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try!

Two things I do appreciate about this sunscreen are that the ingredients are non-comedogenic and it does feel moisturizing and nourishing on your face. However, this is NOT sheer if you are medium skin tone. It leaves a white cast on my face, even when I layer foundation over it. Additionally, because of the slight greasiness, it's difficult to blend foundation over it too. It unfortunately left so much residue on my foundation brush, that I wasn't able to clean it off completely with brush cleaner or Dawn dish soap so I had to buy a new brush. This might be ok if you have fair skin and want something to wear on no make up days. I, personally, will not rebuy it.

My face has been on oily overdrive my entire life. I applied this sunscreen to my face at 4:00 am & reapplied throughout the day spent at the beach. NOTHING has ever controlled the oil like this & I have spent years looking for a solution. When I got home after midnight there was not a single trace of grease anywhere on my face & zero pink or redness from the sun. I am completely blown away by this product & will repurchase this product until the day I die!!!

This is probably the most elegant PHYSICAL sunblock formula I've come across in a while. Is it perfect? No, but is it one of the most pleasant physical sunblocks I've used? Yes. Will I keep buying/using? Yes. The breakdown: Consistency: feels like a slighter thicker version of SuperGoop's unseen sunscreen, so expect to work it a bit more, but not by much. The white cast: Unfortunately not 100% zero-white-cast but very close. It's very visible when you're first working it in but once you finished applying it is already beginning to fade. That being said it's 10% still visible in a blurring kind of way. If you're used to korean sunscreen you'd basically call this a 'tone-up' effect, where your skin tone looks a little lighter (and more even). I don't mind but maybe others would. Still I would say the lingering white cast is minor enough that if you're for whatever reason desperate to use a physical sunblock, then yea I'd say try this one Pairing with makeup: No pilling for me! Similar to supergoop's unseen sunscreen I think the slight siliconey feel acts like a pseudo-primer. The Finish: True to advertisement, it's matte and actually does a good job controlling oil. I notice after 6 hours I look less shiny compared to when I spend 6 hours in chemical sunscreen. This may be a new go-to base for day-looks for me. The coverage: So by 'coverage' I mean how evenly and thoroughly is the sunblock actually protecting you. I use a UV light (briefly! carefully!) whenever trying out new sunblocks because sometimes the 'weightless' sheer formulas also provide very thin coverage. Most physical sunblocks I've tested it's like a solid black wall - you shine the UV light and it's like someone colored in your arm with a sharpie. I would say this physical sunblock's coverage is a little less than that - I think the spreadability is the reason and it's a small price to pay. It's still decent coverage (see my attached photo). My current go-to sunblock is the chemical Joseon Rice Sunblock, which is currently popular in korea. As you can see, both of them have areas of denser vs lighter coverage based on my natural applying motions, but overall provide decent coverage. I'm satisfied but for people who want a steel barrier of physical sunblock, you might opt for a thicker formula than this. The lasting power: It's good. I used the UV-light to compare the coverage when I first apply vs the coverage after 4-6 hours and I still see sunblock on my face (albiet an even lighter, more patchy layer). All in all having been a devoted chemical sunscreener for quite some time, I'm delighted by this example of how far physical sunblocks have come. Based on its characteristics I can see myself wearing it for practical reasons (protect the ocean, matte look for warmer, humid weather, or pregnancy), but also just how well it controls shine of makeup throughout the day. Plus I'm happy it has skin-helping ingredients too. Recommend.
