Farmacy

Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

5 out of 5 stars.

White cast

Fair

Only sunscreen I’ve ever repurchased! I love that it’s Farmacy so I know it’s clean and will be gentle on my *annoyingly* sensitive skin. Texture is smooth, even a little runny. It is pricey but worth it to me because a little - and I mean a little - goes a long way. It doesn’t leave a white cast, either. Granted, I am super fair. But, I have to wonder if the other fair people who are complaining of a white cast are just using too much. It does do really well under makeup - so if the possible white cast is what’s holding you back, try it for yourself before you decide against it!

So far the only zinc containing spf that doesn't leave a white cast. Pricey but worth it just for that. It goes on smoothly over all my skin products.

White cast

Llight/Medium

There’s no white cast on this product which is what I love about this. I’ve struggled w finding a good daily sunscreen to use throughout the day that doesn’t leave me looking like I smothered sunscreen all up on my face.

Llight/Medium

This has great moisture, great protection, but is definitely not sheer. Still in search of the greatest mineral screen with no white cast...

White cast

Medium/Tan

I am very disappointed with this mineral sunscreen. It does leave a white cast on my face. I don’t recommend it for skin of color.

White cast

Llight/Medium

I bought this thinking that it would not have any white cast, but it does on my skin tone, and a little heavy for my liking but it does the job, will not be repurchasing though

White cast

Fair

I have maturing, dry-normal skin with redness from tretinoin. I wear sunscreen every day, and haven't had issues with chemical ones though I like the idea of using something more gentle and mineral based. Zinc is a white mineral, so it's nearly impossible to not have white-cast with a zinc based product unless it's tinted....it's the fundamental physical properties of the ingredient. So yes, this lotion for sure leaves a white cast (even on my fair-pale skin), and because it's a physical barrier it also is heavier than chemical sunscreens BUT it is not nearly as heavy as some I've tried. It's also pleasantly moisturizing, but I think those with more oily skin might dislike it. MAKE SURE TO LET IT SET!! There is a dry-down change, but it took over 10mins for me to really see a difference, and I live in a moderately dry climate. I tried mixing it 50/50 with some foundation (how I often use foundations) and that helps with the white cast a bit, but that decreases the SPF of course. Haven't tested it in sun, but if I knew I was going to be outdoors in the sun for the day, I'd use something SPF 50 or higher. I wish they'd release a tinted version - light, med and dark tints, so it would eliminate the white cast and be inclusive.

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

I have never broken out using a product until now. This broke me out. Don’t use if you have acne. Should’ve checked CosDNA before purchasing, it had pore clogging ingredients

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

I wanted to love this because I love Farmacy and it has clean ingredients (unlike many SPFs), however, I found it to be chalky and drying and it made my face break out. I am not acne-prone and have never had acne issues. This not only made my face incredibly dry, but also I suddenly had a major breakout. Also, I'm pale, but it definitely still has a white cast. According to other reviewers, this is a new formula that's not as good, and while I haven't tried the original, I have to agree that this formula is not good and I'll be returning the product.
