FAQs

WHAT MAKES A GOOD SUNSCREEN FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

Sensitive skin sunscreen should be fragrance-free, talc-free, and hypoallergenic. On top of providing broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, it should also be weightless and non-greasy, as those with sensitive skin are prone to breakouts and rashes. When Colorescience sensitive and hypoallergenic sunscreen products are used in combination with other UV protection measures, they can provide proper protection from the sun’s harmful rays. This protection helps decrease the risk of skin cancer and signs of aging, so what are you waiting for? Pick up the winner of best mineral foundation and give your delicate skin the protection it deserves.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR SUNSCREEN FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

Colorescience offers a variety of brush-on mineral sunscreens for sensitive skin, designed to both protect and enhance. Organic mineral sunscreen powder provides great protection against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. It can be used alone or be applied over makeup, leaving skin looking radiant. Colorescience powder sunscreen for the face is another option with SPF that can be worn alone or over makeup. The Colorescience Brush-On Sunscreen Multipack is ideal for those who like to stock up on products that work on their sensitive skin. It features three brush-on sunscreens with broad spectrum SPF 50 in the medium shade. Not only are these great options for sensitive skin, but they’re also perfect for the active sunscreen-user. Throw these top picks in your purse or bag; they’re great for the beach, pool, tennis, or whatever other activity gets your heart pumping.

DOES COLORESCIENCE OFFER SUNSCREEN FOR THE FAMILY?

Make sure your little ones are protected from the sun’s rays with Colorescience’s line of sun protector products, including sensitive skin sunscreen that’s safe for the whole family to use. Find sensitive skin and hypoallergenic sunscreen powder for babies (3+ months old) to protect your tiny tot, or shop from our safe children's sunscreen products. Our Sunforgettable mineral powder sunscreen is hypoallergenic and designed specifically for delicate skin. Shop from our assortment of brush-on sunblock* for sensitive skin and make an investment in your skin’s health.

*Sunblock is not a term approved by the FDA. Colorescience refers to our products as sun protection.

Is mineral sunscreen good for sensitive skin?

Mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as active ingredients, which are recognized as safe and effective by the FDA. These ingredients are widely recommended by dermatologists for sensitive and reactive skin types.

idea blub

What SPF level is best for sensitive skin?

SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays and is the minimum recommended level. SPF 50 offers slightly higher protection. All Colorescience sunscreens in this collection provide SPF 30 or SPF 50 broad-spectrum coverage.

Can I wear mineral sunscreen under makeup?

Yes. Formulas like No-Show Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 and Face Shield Flex SPF 50 work well as a base layer or primer with SPF under your everyday makeup.

Will mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?

Many Colorescience mineral sunscreens are formulated to blend in smoothly without a white cast. Tinted options like Face Shield Flex SPF 50 adapt to your skin tone, while No-Show SPF 50 dries completely clear.

How often should I reapply sunscreen for sensitive skin?

Reapplying every two hours is recommended for continuous protection. The Brush-On Shield SPF 50 makes midday touch-ups easy and gentle on sensitive skin.
