Love this sunscreen

For those of you who were devestated about the reformulation of the elta md elements as I was, this product will save you. This formula is almost 98% identical to the original uv elements, no chemicals!! The white cast isn’t horrible but I found if I dispense a little of the uv pure in my hands and mix some loose face powder or bronzer with it in my hand before applying it perfectly tints to your skin tone! Was so happy with this discovery just had to share 🥰

Finally, a sunscreen with zinc that can be rubbed in and not left with a white ghost look.

You really have to rub this in to eliminate the white cast. It’s not as bad as some mineral sunscreens I’ve used, but it definitely takes a minute to rub it all in.

First, I don't understand the negative reviews unless people don't know how to apply the product. It's a professional grade sunscreen; a small amount goes a long way. You don't apply near your eyes/eyelids. Once it's on it doesn't budge. This is the very best sunscreen for those who burn extremely easily. Meaning, the lightest of light complexions. Think 'porcelain fair' it doesn't break you out, but can have a slight whitish cast upon application which dissipates quickly. It's a true skin saver when you are prone to burning. This is the first time I've ever purchased a sunscreen at full price; as an esthetician I'm willing to pay full price; it's that good

I had a freckle on my lower eyelid that my ophthalmologist wanted to biopsy. Luckily, it wasn't skin cancer, but he reminded me how important it is to put sunscreen on eyelids as well as the face. Of course, I know this, but finding a sunscreen that did not burn my eyes seemed impossible. I even watched YouTube videos put out by dermatologists and tried their recommendations, but after a few days of burning eyes and headaches, I gave up. The downside of this sunscreen, however, is that is has a super white cast. It makes me look like Casper, the friendly ghost. So, I use this around my eyes. (Careful, a little goes a long way, and it comes out fast.) Then I use another moisturizing sunscreen that has less of a white cast on the rest of my face. It sounds like a hassle, but not having a headache from stinging eyes makes it worth it. I LOVE this sunscreen! (PS My sister says Arbonne kid's sunscreen also does not burn the eyes, but I don't like to buy from MLMs. But I'll put it out there.)

Click to play video Love this sunscreen! Although a little pricey, it is a fantastic physical sunscreen with excellent staying power! Good for kids and adults alike. It leaves a slight white cast but this is to be expected for physical sunscreens. Does not block my pores or cause acne.

Good for looking like a clown. I’m very light skinned, and this still made me look like I had white paint on my face.

Great product

I've tried many physical sunscreens for oily skin (without alcohol) and I'll always come back to this. The best part is probably the transparent zinc, which makes the white cast hardly noticeable (I'm a fair-skinned East Asian) when set. Texture wise, it's not gonna be that gummy silicone paste that sucks your skin dry a la SuperGoop or Innisfree.

He probado varias cremas de protección mineral sin color, desde un avene leche mineral, grasosa y con feo aroma, isdin pediatrico de textura fluida pero muy muy blanca, umbrella mineral para piel sensible, dificil de untar y quitar, por ultimo colorescience corporal protege muy bien pero para retirar tienes que tallar bastante, todas dejan esa capa blanca, Elta md pure no deja ese blanco que se queda o transfiere en todas partes como las otras. Se absorbe muy bien fácil de repartir, la capa blanca es minúscula, soy tono morena clara, en una tez blanca no se notaria nada, no reseca y tampoco es grasosa. Si me la coloco en la cara con un poquito de maquillaje se difumina lo poco blanco que queda y no arde nada en los ojos. La recomiendo hasta en pieles mixtas y grasas, para piel seca con otra crema hidratante antes de usar esta bastaría. Cuerpo y cara es genial. No la he usado en playa, así no se si la resistencia al agua sea duradera.

Yes, it is ghost white But it also saved my irratated skin, my skin can't bear any chemical sunscreen In addition, if you wait 20-30min, the ghost white willl disappear and if you use some brown loose powder it will look just like natural

Very nice texture as well compared to the Elements. Does leave a white cast but not ghostly white after rubbing in but then again it will depend on individual skin tones. For darker skin tones, not gonna work I'm afraid. For outdoor it works great and it doesn't break me out. Do double cleanse when removing it.
