ShadeDrops® Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Mineral Milk Sunscreen

Summer Fridays ShadeDrops® Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Mineral Milk Sunscreen is a mineral SPF built around zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, carried in a milky serum texture rather than a thick cream.

What it actually does

• Shields against UVA and UVB at SPF 50. The filters are mineral: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which the brand describes as all-natural sun filters.
• Hydrates while it protects. Ceramide NP and glycerin are included to support the skin barrier and leave skin soft and smooth, per Summer Fridays.
• Carries an antioxidant complex. The brand lists vitamin C, vitamin E and ectoin as the trio working against visible signs of ageing.
• Sits well under makeup. The brand describes the milky serum as melting into skin and layering neatly beneath a base.
• Suits a wide range of skin types — normal, dry, combination and oily are all listed.
• Cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan, according to the brand.

How to use

1. Shake it before you open it. A mineral milk formula needs mixing before each use.
2. Apply as the last skincare step, before any makeup goes on.
3. Measure with two fingers. Squeeze one line of sunscreen along your index finger and another along your middle finger — that is the amount for one face application.
4. Cover everything. Spread it over face, neck and ears, making sure no area is skipped.
5. Reapply every two hours of exposure.

Questions

Is this a mineral or a chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Protection comes from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which the brand highlights as its sun filters.

How much should I actually apply?

Use the two-finger measure: a line down the index finger plus a line down the middle finger, spread across face, neck and ears. Top up every two hours while you are exposed to sun.

Will it work for oily skin?

Summer Fridays lists oily among the suitable skin types, alongside normal, dry and combination. The texture is a lightweight milky serum rather than a rich cream.
