My forehead is a solar panel by 10 AM. A beacon of grease.
Reapplying liquid sunscreen over makeup? A guaranteed, gloppy mess. This powder promised to fix that.
A mineral SPF 35 powder from Supergoop! ($38). The claim: reapply sunscreen without ruining your makeup. Genius.
Invisible Finish
Truly no white cast — even on my medium-tan skin.
Sweat-Resistant
Stays put through a humid walk. Doesn’t cake in creases.
Brush Included
The brush is… fine. It’s small. Gets the job done.

It’s 100% mineral (zinc oxide). That means it sits on top of skin to block rays immediately — no waiting. Less irritating for reactive skin, too.
- Zinc Oxide: The physical sunblock, also calms redness
- Silica: The oil-absorbing workhorse — soaks up shine
- Mica: For that subtle blur, not sparkle
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A dash of antioxidant protection

Feels like nothing. A soft, dry whisper against your skin. No scent. No chalky drag.
Surprise: I used way more than I thought I needed for adequate SPF coverage. The “invisible” thing makes it easy to under-apply.

My midday shine was visibly muted. My makeup stayed put. But this is a touch-up hero, not a standalone sunscreen for a beach day.

It’s the elegant solution to a sweaty, shiny problem. I keep it in my bag all summer.
