6 Mineral Sunscreens That Minimize White Cast

If you’ve noticed that some mineral sunscreens leave a white cast on your face, you’re not alone. But before you give up on mineral SPF, it’s worth noting that not all formulas are like this. While mineral sunscreens can never be completely invisible (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are, by nature, white powders that sit on top of your skin to shield it against UV rays), that doesn’t mean you have to settle for an obvious chalky cast.

At Supergoop!, we’re fans of mineral sunscreens for a lot of reasons, but we also know the white cast struggle is real. That’s why we developed feel-good mineral sunscreens that are designed to suit a wide range of skin tones! Here are six of our favorite mineral face sunscreens that strike the right balance between expert protection and wearable elegance.

Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

It’s everything you love about the original Unseen Sunscreen, now in a mineral formula. Mineral Unseen Sunscreen is a weightless, cloud-like lotion that applies easily and glides smoothly onto skin for a dream-like feel. It also has a sheer, natural finish that blends seamlessly across a wide range of skin tones! Plus, it’s recommended for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops Mineral SPF 40

This tinted mineral SPF is a multitasking formula that leaves your skin looking radiant while offering broad spectrum protection. Available in two soft, glowy shades, Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops has a blendable tint that helps enhance your natural glow and reduce the look of white cast.

Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40

Mineral Mattescreen offers broad spectrum protection and a smooth, matte finish. The airy whipped texture helps it glide on easily and the formula is free of pore-clogging oils, making it a great choice for all skin types, including oily. Its tinted formula helps minimize the appearance of white cast while visibly blurring pores and evening out skin tone. It also doubles as a makeup-gripping primer, making it an easy step in your morning routine.

Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30

Mineral Sheerscreen is made with our SheerMatrix™ Technology to help zinc oxide lay more evenly across your skin, giving you mineral protection with a sheer, natural-looking finish. It’s a smooth, breathable lotion that wears well on all skin types, including sensitive. Whether you’re layering it under makeup or wearing it solo, Mineral Sheerscreen is designed to blend in gently and reduce the appearance of white cast without compromising on coverage.

Bright-Eyed Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40

This daytime eye cream pulls double duty: It helps awaken tired eyes while providing SPF 40 protection for one of the most delicate areas of your face. A soft, blendable pink tint helps counteract the look of dark circles while minimizing the white cast you might associate with mineral formulas.

Mineral Sheer Stick SPF 30

Designed for life on the go, this mineral sunscreen stick glides on smoothly and leaves a naturally-blurred, soft-focus finish rather than an obvious white cast. Whether you’re hiking, traveling, or touching up on the way to lunch, it’s a no-fuss way to reapply SPF throughout the day. Plus, it’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. Just swipe and go!

Mineral Sunscreen Doesn’t Have to Be So Obvious

Mineral sunscreens are always going to have a bit of presence on your skin, but with the right formula, they don’t have to be distracting. It’s all about smart ingredients, thoughtful tinting, and technology that helps them blend and feel better.

Whether you’re aiming for a matte finish, a dewy glow or something sheer and natural, Supergoop! has a mineral option that gets the job done and gets along with your skin.
