MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen — Sheer Matte, 1.7 fl oz, Water-Resistant 80min

MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème SPF 50 is a lightweight, mineral-based daily sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum zinc oxide protection with a sheer matte finish and no white cast.

This mineral crème is formulated to feel almost weightless on skin while providing reliable UVA/UVB protection. It blends smoothly, mattifies excess shine, and can be worn under or over makeup as a primer or by itself for a refined, natural look. The water-resistant formula and antioxidant additions help the product suit active days and everyday urban wear.

How does this sunscreen perform under makeup?

The Mineral Crème is designed to act as a skin-friendly primer: it creates a smooth base that reduces the look of pores and controls shine without pilling under liquid or powder foundations. Because it leaves a sheer matte finish, it helps makeup apply evenly and stay in place longer.

• Sheer matte texture that blends without leaving a white cast
• Pairs well with foundations, BB creams, and powders
• Non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or feel heavy
• Lightweight enough for bare-skin wear when you prefer minimal coverage

What active ingredients provide sun protection and how long does it last?

Protection comes from micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which offer broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays. The formula is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it’s suitable for short swims or sweat, but reapplication is recommended after prolonged water exposure or heavy perspiration.

• Broad-spectrum mineral filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• SPF 50 for strong daily protection
• Up to 80 minutes water resistance — reapply after swimming or towel-drying
• Micronized particles to minimize visible residue

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is oil-free, dermatologist-developed, and formulated to be gentle, making it suitable for many sensitive and acne-prone skin types. Its non-irritating profile and absence of heavy oils reduce the chance of breakouts while still delivering antioxidant support.

• Oil-free, non-irritating mineral formula
• Vegan and cruelty-free ingredients
• Includes vitamin C, green tea, and pomegranate extracts for environmental defense
• Appropriate for ages 6 months and older per product guidance

How should I apply and reapply for best results?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and allow the crème to fully absorb. Reapply every two hours during continuous sun exposure and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying to maintain SPF coverage.

• Apply generously and evenly to face and neck before sun exposure
• Reapply at least every two hours for sustained protection
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying
• Layer under makeup or use alone for a polished, matte look

Who this is for: This Mineral Crème SPF 50 is aimed at people seeking a clean, mineral sunscreen that doubles as a makeup-friendly primer — ideal for sensitive, combination, or oily skin types and for anyone wanting a no-white-cast, matte finish. It suits daily city commuters, outdoor enthusiasts needing water resistance, parents looking for family-safe mineral protection, and makeup users who want an invisible sunscreen base.
