You know all about why you should wear sun protection, right? So are you satisfied with, and confident in, your current method of protection? Or are you looking for something better? Either way, read on!

I’ve done hours of research and looked just about everywhere to round-up a group of tinted face products containing physical sunscreen. I found products for every budget.

I’ve put together this guide showing the products I would suggest trying, which means they meet with my basic “my natural” standards. That means no chemical sunscreen. That means we can be a lot less worried about shelf life, because titanium dioxide (physical SPF) doesn’t degrade the way the chemical sunscreens do.

I typically forget to apply an SPF unless it’s part of my daily, morning, routine. So I’ve switched to facial products containing SPF that I like to use for their complexion perfecting properties. With these products, the SPF is just a bonus. They function as primers, moisturizers, and skin blurring agents. Some are marketed as primers, others as tinted moisturizers, and yet others are in the BB /CC cream or foundation category.


Physical Sunscreen Product Types:

Tinted Moisturizer – light and sheer / liquidy – usually does not have “slip” like a primer
Primer – high silicone content with slip, and often fluffy or gel-like – my preference
BB/ CC Cream – thicker and creamy or possibly gel-like – feels thick and typically provides an increasing level of coverage (not in terms of sun protection but hiding flaws)
Foundation – usually thinner in consistency and higher in pigment, and usually needs to be applied over a moisturizer – provides the most coverage
Powder* – comes either in a brush ready to use, or loose in a jar
Pressed Powder* – comes in a compact and is applied with a brush
Cushion Compact – typically contains a product thinner than tinted moisturizer but called a BB or CC cream anyhow – applied with a sponge

*Pressed and loose powders are not featured in this guide. There are great options available there too.


Round-up: Andalou, Cotz, Dermalogica, Coola, Maybelline, MDSolarSciences, and Physicians Formula


Brands Offering Physical SPF in Facial Makeup.

Plus: Recommended Products. Ingredients. Reviews and Swatches Where Available.


Andalou – 1.) Andalou 1000 Roses Color + Correct – Sheer Nude – SPF 30 (Sensitive); 2.) Skin Perfecting Beauty Balm Natural Tint SPF 30; 3.) and All-in-One Beauty Balm Sheer Tint SPF 30

Tried: Andalou 1000 Roses Color + Correct – Sheer Nude – SPF 30 (Sensitive) 

Swatched.

Consistency: Somewhere between a primer, moisturizer, and a BB cream. It’s fairly fluffy and light, but Coola and Cotz Natural Face are fluffier. Yet Andalou’s CC cream is surprisingly awesome, except for the color, which is too light for me in “Sheer Nude.” (I happened to find my tube at Marshalls in this color, and I couldn’t pass it up.) I think there is a blooming love affair between me and Andalou.

I would like to try Andalou 1000 Roses Color + Correct SPF 30 in “Sheer Tan.” By the way, Andalou 1000 Roses does indeed smell like roses. So be aware of this if you aren’t a fan. The scent either fades after application or I stop noticing it after a few minutes.

Charlotte Tilbury – Magic Foundation with SPF 15

Available in a range of shades.

Tried: Magic Foundation with SPF 15

Swatched.

Consistency: This foundation certainly felt like a foundation to me. It is very liquidy and therefore messy going on, but dries to a semi-chalky texture, which I do not like. Perhaps that is due to my dryish skin, but either way this product is not for me. I will say that it really did provide unbelievable coverage and concealed imperfections with a thin coat.

Coola – Mineral Face SPF 30 Sunscreen Matte Tint, Unscented

Tried: Mineral Face SPF 30 Sunscreen Matte Tint

Swatched.

Consistency: This cream is more on the primer end of the spectrum than on the foundation end. I appreciate how light and fluffy it is and how it allows my skin to breath especially in humid conditions. The lotion is indeed matte, which is nice at times. But I typically prefer a more natural glow.

Active: Titanium Dioxide 3.2%, Zinc Oxide 1.8%.

Inactive: Aluminum Hydroxide, Butyrospermum Parkii (Organic Shea Butter), Cucumis Sativus (Organic Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glycerin (Organic), Hydrogen Dimethicone, Iron Oxides, Isopropyl Myristate, Isopropyl Titianium Triisostearate, Linum Usitatissimum (Organic Linseed) Seed Oil, Mica, Oenothera Biennis (Organic Evening Primrose) Oil, Plankton Extract, Polyamide-5, Polysilicone-11, Propylene Carbonate, Rosa Canina (Organic) Fruit Oil, Silica Silylate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Synthetic Wax.


 

Cotz 1.) Natural Face SPF 40; and 2.)  Flawless Complexion SPF 50

Tried (and Use): Cotz Natural Face SPF 40

Swatched.

Consistency: I love this product because it does it all for me. It’s a very light weight gel/cream out of the tube, tinted to a bronze color (no shimmer). On my skin it either blends right in (if I’m tan) or adds color to wake up my complexion. It serves as my makeup primer, tinted moisturizer, and base makeup all in one, as well as my daily SPF!

Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 8% (Sunscreen); Zinc Oxide 3.8% (Sunscreen)

Inactive Ingredients: Alumina, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Lauryl PEG/PPG 18/18 Methicone, Methicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone

Tried:  Flawless Complexion SPF 50

Swatched.

Consistency: This is more lotion-like than the Cotz I’ve always used. I wasn’t familiar with this product until receiving a sample in my Allure Beauty Box. I am still impressed with this Cotz product but I plan to stick with the one I’ve always used because it’s lighter in consistency and darker in color. However, I recommend Flawless Complexion to anyone with more oily skin than mine.

Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 20% (Sunscreen)

Inactive Ingredients: C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Cetyl PEG/PPG 10/1 Dimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Disodium EDTA, Glycerin, Iron Oxide, Methicone, Microcrystalline Wax, PEG-10 Dimethicone, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Chloride, Stearyl Dimethicone, Tetrahexadecyl Ascorbate, Triethanolamine, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Water

Dermalogica 1.) Skinperfect SPF 30; 2.) Sheer Tint SPF 20; and 3.) Ultra Sensitive Tint SPF 30

Tried: Dermalogica Skinperfect SPF 30

Swatched.

Consistency: I received a deluxe sample of this in a past BeautyFix box. At first I didn’t like the cream, thinking it smelled strange. But I tried it a few more times and also reviewed the ingredients. The scent I was noticing was probably a mixture of the Camelia, Lavender, and Eucalyptus oils. By the way, Eucalyptus is usually an ingredient I avoid, but it’s a concern more-so on the lips than on other places.

Tried: Your Skin But Better CC Cream SPF 50 (and CC+ Cream Illumination SPF 50+)

Each available in five shades.

Swatched.

Consistency: This CC cream does an amazing job of covering up skin flaws and creating a beautiful canvas. However I find the cream to be too heavy and emollient feeling for my taste. This cream is on the far end of the spectrum from my preferred gel-like textured creams.

Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 9.015%, Zinc Oxide 6.305%.

MDSolarSciences 1.MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 30; 2.) MDSolarSciences Mineral Beauty Balm Broad Spectrum SPF 50

Tried:  MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 30

Consistency: I received this as a deluxe sample with a Sephora order. I was so excited to see Sephora carry this brand, which after some inspection I found to be just up my alley! This cream was unfortunately a bit separated and watery coming out, which is probably from it being in a sample tube. Once applied it did a beautiful job of adding some moisture and tint. It is not a gel-like product.

Active: Titanium Dioxide 2%, Zinc Oxide 17%.

I also tried: Mineral Wear Bronzer. (I purchased these two from the mineral wear collection using a BOGO coupon, so it was 2 for $13.19).

This brand is starting to grow on me and always full of surprises. Their items I’ve purchased recently have been of excellent quality. But the prices are a bit strange in that they seem very high when next to the budget brands at Walmart and Target. But the prices are low compared to mid-level brands like Stila or Sephora. Also, in theory you should not ever need to pay retail asking prices because there are either coupons available or the prices on Amazon beat retail by far. I honestly believe that if the brand did a little re-branding and had better advertising, it could be sold at a higher price point and in beauty specialty stores.Both products I tried contain physical SPF. There are other BB creams and pressed powders from PF that I haven’t mentioned that do as well. But one word of caution– always check the labels because some of their items contain chemical sunscreens. Anyway, don’t overlook Physician’s Formula!

Yes, this was a surprise to me! I tried these on in the store and found that the Demi Matte is indeed very thick like a foundation. The BB cream is a tinted moisturizer type cream, meaning its more watery than gel-like.
