100% Mineral Sunscreen Faves 2020

[@TSMO24]

I really appreciate the representation for black women, it’s thoughtful and beautiful. Thank you.

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

That was awesome.

[@kimberlycouture2373]

Exactly! It really bothers me when product brands or people don't include darker pigmented skin tones in their products... I mean just Imagine how that makes people feel. 🌈❣️✝️

[@taimatsuko]

Ditto! Helps me not waste my money

[@diva758ify]

I had to stop the video the minute I saw Nana’s hand, I can’t express how much I appreciate the fact that you considered asking someone with a darker skin tone to apply the sunscreen, because finding a good sunscreen that is black girl friendly is really hard. So thank you so much.

[@vanessaladescarada165]

The first aid is amazing for woman of color and wears beautifully under make up!!give it a try

[@ayumelove]

I agree, I really appreciate it too.

[@diva758ify]

vanessa la descarada thank you for the recommendation.

[@jerseyscutey]

I totally agree, sooo appreciated!

[@illegallyanxious6903]

Thank you Gothamista for going the extra mile of modelling on someone with a darker complexion, it made the decision making part 10 times easier. As always I love your efforts in your reviews, thank you ^-^

[@volcomwave]

"Refer back to my previous video I did last year and some of the previous ones" 🤣 I appreciate these sunscreen videos SO MUCH! Love that there's such a big database of Gothamista-approved SPF!

[@gothamista]

And I appreciate YOU so much. You've been commenting on my videos for as long as I remember and that means everything to me!

[@BiscuitSumer]

Ikr? I can't buy anything that's not approved by her! Once you try one of her recommendations, you just get hooked lol.

[@biossanceskincare]

Thank you for featuring our Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. We're really proud of our formula, so we're so glad you're enjoying it! 💚

[@jenm1]

I was thinking about buying that one. Thanks for making it!

THANK YOU for the demo on a darker skin tone. This was so helpful!

demo on darker skin was very much appreciated!!!!!!

[@gmkudw]

As a woman of color I must say that I really loved seeing the sunscreens demonstrated on dark skin. Much love from Sweden!

[@elmar_kritzinger]

I was literally shocked by your beauty when the video started. Love the white of the background and your shirt contrasted by your dark hair, and the red lips just add an extra pop of elegance. ❤️

[@priscyllainiguez2129]

Yes! Breathtakingly beautiful!

[@felisas1881]

I really appreciate the inclusion of the swatches on deeper skin tones! Mineral sunscreen on darker skin can be an ashy nightmare lol. I love Purito Comfy Water, and think I will try the Versed or First Aid Beauty SPF once my Purito runs out. Also, that Beautycounter body mist looks promising!

[@Rose-xi8bs]

It's such a pleasure to watch you. Thank you for the demonstrations and recommendations. I appreciate that your friend Nana showed us what the sunscreens look like on darker skin, since my skin is on the darker spectrum.

[@gothamista]

I hope you found it helpful and that you can find something you love!

[@lavenderwilliams1147]

Blessings for including Nana in your video, Literally I can’t say enough of how helpful it was 🙏🏾

[@anhmai5889]

Your red lipstick look is 👌 *chef’s kiss * another good mineral sunscreen for dry sensitive skin is Tizo’s sheer zinc tinted mineral spf 40.

[@Roll587]

Perfect timing! I've been on the hunt for a mineral, fragrance-free, matte, no cast mineral sunscreen.

[@gothamista]

Hahha I believe there's at least one of those in here!

[@Riri-ti8qt]

Which one is it please 😭I’m looking for the same things in an spf

[@haikalabbas9539]

Thank you so much for demonstrating the sunscreens on your friend so that those of us with darker skintones can rest assured that the products can compliment our shades as well, it really means a lot

[@faceonnailsdonehairdid]

I also appreciate you getting your friend to try them on too so we can what they'd look like on dark skin. Please keep it up. Thanks so much

ZOMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! I’m nanas skin color and I was looking for physical sunscreens bc they are more environmentally friendly!! I can’t thank you enough for thinking of us! 🥺🥺🥺

[@michaelsnow3]

I've always respected your work and now I thank you even more for considering demos on deeper skin tones. I love Nana already!

[@maryarmstrong2231]

Oh hey! It’s Renee!!! So happy! I wish the Purito didn’t pill on me😭 Nana has absolutely GORGEOUS skin! Extra thanks to her for helping us out! Just purchased the Versed and haven’t opened it yet. Excited

[@margaretfortune2700]

OMG Is Renee the best Beauty Editor ever or what ? The time, care and attention. Wow! The demo on an African-type skin tone was so wonderful. It makes for a really good comparison. I’ve experienced rashes with other sunscreens & I’ve been looking for a mineral formula that dries down sheer. I feel like you read my mind. Thanks Renee. Much love & blessings to you. Keep up the good work.

[@thefoodie5701]

👏🏿THANK YOU for including Nana’s hand, sooooo helpful

[@rosey_josh]

It’s beyond exciting to be featured on your channel. Truly. So very happy to hear your thoughts on the Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30! Thank you! Thank you so very much for sharing and appreciating it!

[@serenity8910]

I've discovered Australian Gold mineral tinted SPF 50 recently and it's so good! Matte, primer-like and no white cast.

[@igg5574]

It's only 4% zinc. Not sure how much sun protection you can get from that

[@sadiamaqsood5843]

Hey Rene, Thanks for including another skin colour. This makes it really relatable to me. Wow, your content keeps getting better and better. x

[@jaceny3077]

You are a treasure! Thank you for addressing the skin tone differences and featuring Nana for reference. ❤️

[@kikko422]

THANK YOU!!!!!! For featuring a demo with dark skin!! I'm Australian and finding physical sunscreens here that don't have a white cast is soooo tricky!!

[@elcee8]

Renee, you are a fresh of breath air during this time of high drama in the skincare world. You are consistent and rock solid. I look forward to trying the Versed sunscreen.

[@starkin4e]

You’re always so helpful. You articulate yourself so well and I don’t know what my skin would do without you. Thanks, Renée 💖

[@miche6300]

Bravo and please continue including dark skin tones in your demos!!!

[@aleenr4425]

Banobagi!!! You REALLY need to try their sunscreen! I’ve tried sooooooo many sunscreens from North America, Japan, Korea, etc.. both mineral and chemical, they all irritate my skin (even Purito unscented). Banobagi sunscreen feels like it improves/heals my skin, I never thought I’d find a sunscreen that could do that! 💖💕💗

[@skygaz3r]

I remember finding the Supergoop mineral matte sunscreen through your videos, so I was SUPER excited to see a new one! I’m so happy to see darker skin tones too, helps me gauge white cast better (I’m medium skin-toned). That supergoop powder for hair looks fab, but they need to make a brown one, white powder always makes my hair look grey!

[@sheerdee1583]

Thank you so much for considering us. I did not expect that and was so touched. ♥️

[@nataliagomez5756]

We love you. Also, your content is always thorough and elegantly presented, and I can’t emphasize enough how relaxing your videos are.

[@malikagoel934]

The amount of information she provides, UFF how can you not stan

[@FaithDow]

Renee, I went all the way back to your sheet mask videos to make a list of ones to research. I wasn't going to watch this because I fortunately found a sunscreen (Purito Comfy). On top of using an SPF moisturizer and an SPF foundation. I still found it useful. I've been following you for about 7 months now, so it's been fun going through older videos and reading comments. I even watched your Nadine interview after you mentioned meeting her. That tip about putting on the Vit C before hydrators (essences) was golden! I'm not oily afterwards.

[@kimb4770]

Hi there, would you ever consider doing a video displaying your skincare collection and how you store/ keep up with expiration, etc...?😀

[@empressah888]

[@HettieB8]

The tint on different skin tones 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 and also the fact the product works for both skin tones is so good!!!

[@gothamista]

I know!! Usually it'll be too dark for me and sometimes still too light for Nana but these mineral formulas are getting better and more sheer!

[@bibliophilecb]

Ok this is unrelated to the video (which is fantastic as always) but omg Renée, that lipstick is so lovely on you!

[@Julia69016]

I can swear you read my mind! There's no way around at least a partially physical based formula when it comes to humidity for me. And all these new launches appear to be falling short, or is what I hear through the grapevine. Thank you so much

I love seeing these on other skin tones.

[@antheakrieger3245]

Thank you for including skin of colour!!! 🤗

[@theajayieffect]

Yes!!! I only use mineral sunscrrens and it can be challenging finding ones that don't cast. I was so glad for the comparison swatches. I love Eleven by Venus Williams. I'm going to try Versed. I wish there was a 50 which woiluld work for my skintone. I'm using Replenix which is....cool. But not great. Thanks, Renee!!

One of the most effective long-term ways to minimize skin folds is with retinoids. Better to get them before they get deep!

I have worn 3 sunscreens in the past few years that my face agrees with ... Korres spf50 facial sunscreen (I get it when I go back home- it’s drugstore there), the NEOGEN sunscreen, and the Dr Jart any given Sunday .... on the body I always use Australian gold

[@faithnkomo7179]

Hi guys I just bought the colorscience spf 50 face shield. It is tinted 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen and it comes in 3 colours on their website the 1. original 2. glow and 3. bronze. I bought the bronze and its working really well for me. Barely any cast on my skin and I don`t wear any makeup on top of it. I would definitely recommend this one for darker skin tones!!. I apply mine with a dry beauty blender (2 layers- allow the 1st layer to dry a bit then apply the 2nd one. I apply 2 layers as in order to get the full effect of spf you are meant to be applying sun screen quite liberally) so that it soaks in without a cast. I would definitely recommend if its within your budget (£24.50 in the UK). For reference I am around NW45 foundation shade in MAC and estee lauder double wear I wear Sandalwood for the foundation shade. I think I am a Fitzpatrick 4/5. I have sensitive dry skin and have experienced no irritation whatsoever with the sun-screen. I have just bought the colorscience powder version as well so I can use this one to re-apply during the day.

[@catalinarandle6420]

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

Great job! Thanks! I always look forward to these videos! But now I’m confused. I literally watched Nerida Joy’s latest Insta-tv from today or yesterday just before this. She said anything labeled as as a moisturizer with an SPF 30 or 50 is a moisturizer or tint first with sunscreen thrown in. To make matters worse she said to actually get the protection it claims on the package you’d need more than double the recommended amount.

[@Scaroline25]

You mentioned liking eye sunscreens including the supergoop and the colorscience 3 in 1, have you tried the one from skinceuticals? It’s their PHYSICAL EYE UV DEFENSE SPF 50 and it’s less than half the price of the colorscience one and has more product, I really need an eye sunscreen that lets me also wear eyeshadow without messing it up, i saw this and thought it might be an option that’s more affordable - what do you think?

[@lizmartin4555]

Super Goop also has a 100% mineral face sunscreen called Matte Screen. It’s a great primer for oily types with large pores. Great primer.

[@Beaumiroir]

I got a travel-size of the First Aid Beauty sunscreen in the Sephora Fun In The Sun kit, and as much as I love how it feels, the tint is definitely too dark for me, and also too peachy. For reference I'm around a NC20 in MAC, fair with neutral to warm undertones. I also got the Biossance in that kit and I love it as well! That's the one I keep reaching for. On a side note, I usually don't have a problem with chemical sunscreens, but I found that I absolutely can't use them if I'm going to wear a mask. I don't know what it is, maybe the humidity created by the mask on my skin surface, but my skin on my chin and above the lips literally burns!

[@csbirla8386]

Always a pleasure to see your videos .

[@benc505]

I currently use EltaMD for face (good for rosacea) and Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Mineral sunscreen for body. My skin is somewhat sensitive to products, but these both work well for me. What else would you recommend for a body sunscreen that is easy to apply and non-greasy feeling? Also ideally won’t drip off too readily during outdoor activities.

[@dellagabs8761]

I tried the Bright Eyes and hated it. I wanted it to dupe the Colorscience sooooo bad. I feel like it did nothing for my under eye and it settled in my creases. Guess I’ll keep paying $69, it’s worth it. Thanks for another excellent, informative video!

[@gothamista]

Yeah nothing can replace the Colorescience yet but considering the other alternatives I've tried, my experience with bright eyes has been good! I do think the eye cream I use underneath makes a difference!
