Product Information

Women’s health and wellness has been an expertise of mine in my 10 years as a reporter and editor for publications like O, The Oprah Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Allure and more.

Thrive’s Bodyshield SPF 50 has a thicker consistency than Blue Lizard’s Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+, our other mineral pick. After another round of brand-concealed testing, Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ remains our top-pick physical sunscreen, and Banana Boat Light As Air Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ is still our favorite chemical formula. Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ formula spreads relatively quickly and absorbs easily for a sunscreen containing only physical UV blockers, which tend to be chalky and difficult to rub in.Another advantage of squalane is that it is pretty much compatible with all skin types and skin conditions. Early on in our testing, we eliminated one chemical sunscreen lotion, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen Weightless Face SPF 30, because of its bottle. An emollient and natural moisturizer that can be found also in the sebum (oily stuff our skin produces).

It's a physical (or inorganic) sunscreen that has a lot in common with fellow inorganic sunscreen Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) but a couple of things make it superior even to TiO2. This sunscreen was challenging to use, and I had a white tint that was so visible other people pointed it out.

No matter what you use, keep in mind that your level of protection depends on how much and how often you apply. Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma.

I am so sensitive to scents and often things advertised as not having a scent still do in my experience. We considered but ultimately decided against commissioning an independent lab to assess SPF, broad-spectrum, and water-resistance claims because the results of even the most sophisticated lab tests can’t predict how a given sunscreen performs in the real world, where application amount and frequency matter much more than a subtle difference in SPF. Instead, we’ve focused our testing on the factors that affect people’s sunscreen use: namely, how the formulas feel and smell.Oxybenzone protects against a portion of the UVA spectrum that avobenzone does not, plus it protects against UVB rays.
