Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

Supergoop! Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is the mineral version of an invisible sunscreen: sheer, scentless and weightless, with 17.68% zinc oxide doing the work. Supergoop! describes the texture as cloud-like and recommends it for sensitive skin, and it blends away to a natural finish rather than a white film. It also grips makeup, so it can replace your primer.

What it actually does

• Protects with zinc oxide, not a chemical filter. The broad spectrum mineral SPF 40 covers UVA and UVB, and the brand lists the zinc oxide level at 17.68%.
• Disappears instead of casting white. It is formulated to blend in sheer with a natural finish — the whole premise of the Unseen line, here in mineral form.
• Suits reactive skin. Supergoop! recommends it across all skin types and calls out sensitive skin specifically.
• Works as a makeup base. It grips makeup, so foundation and complexion products have something to hold onto.
• Carries no scent. Listed as scentless, with less than one percent synthetic fragrance in the formula.
• Adds bamboo extract. Included for its antioxidant properties, according to the brand.
• Leaves out a long list of ingredients. No parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS or SLES sulfates, triclosan, triclocarban, formaldehydes or formaldehyde-releasing agents.

How to use

1. Finish your skincare first, then apply this as the last step before makeup.
2. Spread it generously and evenly over face and neck — don't skip the neck.
3. Give it half a minute to settle before you start on foundation.
4. Wear it alone or as a primer, depending on the day.
5. If it is your only SPF, apply roughly a quarter of an hour before going outside, top up every two hours at minimum, and reapply after swimming or sweating.

Questions

Will it leave a white cast on deeper skin tones?

It is built to blend in sheer with a natural finish, which is unusual for a zinc formula. As with any mineral SPF, apply in thin even layers and give it the full 30 seconds to settle rather than piling it on at once.

Mineral or chemical — what's the difference here?

This one uses zinc oxide, a mineral filter, for its broad spectrum SPF 40. That is why the brand flags it for sensitive skin, and why it is the pick if chemical filters sting your eyes or irritate you.

Can I wear makeup over it?

That's one of its jobs — it works as a makeup-gripping primer with a natural finish. Let it absorb for about 30 seconds, then apply your base as normal.

Is it alright for acne-prone skin?

Acne and blemishes are among the concerns it is listed against, and the formula avoids a long list of common irritants. If your skin is very reactive, patch test along the jaw for a few days before committing to full-face use.
