The 17 Best Mineral Sunscreen 2021 That Won't Leave a White Cast - Glamour
May 11, 2021 1 min, 57 secs
What were once gloppy, greasy, heavy creams guaranteed to leave a chalky white cast are now just as sophisticated as their chemical counterparts.

A quick refresh: Sunscreens come in two forms—chemical, which are absorbed by your skin, and mineral or physical, which sit on your skin's surface (which is why they can be a little trickier to rub in). .

While the best mineral sunscreen is whatever you will use every day, Markowitz recommends physical sunscreens for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Since mineral SPF doesn't get absorbed by your skin, it's less likely to clog pores and tends to be gentler on sensitive skin than chemical sunscreen.

(More info on that here.) The FDA called for more research regarding the other 12, which are typically found in chemical sunscreens.

The good news is there are plenty of options out there for physical sunscreens that don't feel heavy or leave a white cast.

This sunblock from Drunk Elephant checks all the boxes: It's lightweight, doesn't leave a cast, and is moisturizing without feeling greasy.

There's a reason this SPF 25 took home a Glamour Beauty Award in the reader's choice category: It's lightweight but moisturizing, dewy without being greasy, and slightly tinted to blur pores and blend into skin.

Despite the drugstore price point, it's a great option for super-sensitive skin, and has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance (it's fragrance-free as well). .

The slight beige tint on this sunscreen ensures that it doesn't leave a white cast on any skin tone.

It's suitable for all skin types and doesn't leave a white cast.

This one is easy to rub in, sweat-resistant, and fragrance-free, so it's great for sensitive skin.

Reviewers can't believe how well this lightweight sunscreen disappears into all skin tones

Like all Biossance products, this SPF has sugarcane-derived squalane to lock in moisture yet remains lightweight, and water lily to soothe and cool skin that's been exposed to the sun

Though it's appropriate for all skin types, it's particularly great for oily or acne-prone skin. 

The formula is lightweight like a primer and easily rubs into skin with no weird cast.
