It appears lighter and peachier than the CeraVe tinted mineral sunscreen, so I assumed it wouldn’t work for someone like myself with tan skin, but it completely disappears after you rub it in. It is excellent for acne-prone skin and safe to use even if you have fungi-related skin issues, like seborrhea or fungal acne. Founded in 1996 in New York City's Soho, Bliss ignited the modern spa revolution and championed skincare as self-care before it was a trend. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to give a sh*t about sun protection, but better late than never, right?

All in all, Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile.A 100% plant derived, natural (Ecocert approved) multi-functional ingredient that has emollient and moisturizing properties, can work as a co-emulsifier (meaning that next to other emulsifiers it can help water and oil to mix) and even more importantly has a strong antimicrobial activity. What’s the difference between a mineral sunscreen and a chemical sunscreen – and is a mineral sunscreen better than a chemical sunscreen? It wasn't until this past year that I began really enjoying putting on sunscreen and it's all because I've found a few formulas that I absolutely love.

The 100 percent mineral sunscreen — which contains both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — brings a universally sheer tint to the face that blurs imperfections without leaving a greasy residue. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safety profile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters). A clear, light yellow liquid that is used to coat pigments (such as inorganic sunscreen agents or colorants) in cosmetic products. The film never truly sinks into my skin and just sits on top, so it ends up rubbing off on whatever I come into contact with.

It was during those character-building moments that my adult life in warm, sunny Los Angeles had its origins. We believe in the healing powers of flowers and plants, and build our formulas on pure ingredients and smart science. For those dealing with skin concerns such as acne, eczema, or rosacea, mineral-based sunscreens may be the best option. I saw a sh*t-ton of these clear, chemical sunscreens sticks at the cash wrap at The Rack a couple weeks ago and picked one up on a whim, and now I get why — it looks like it’s being discontinued. Oh, and according to Wikipedia, it even helps to stabilize famously unstable UVA-filter, Avobenzone.
