Are their sunscreens reliable? The ones I searched on this website said they're not.
That’s vague. “Not reliable”? Based on what? (It’s “colorescience,” btw.) I’m reading this label: colorescience sunforgettable total protection “Face Shield FLEX” - SPF 50. Mine is “For tan skin tones.” “Broad Spectrum…”— And it has the “PA++++” rating— with “ALL-MINERAL ACTIVES.” Water and sweat-resistant for 40 minutes.
I blend about 2-3 high-SPF sunscreens, to get the right colour, finish, and enough mineral protection. Thanks.
Have you worn it on a hot day, and does it protect well from the sun? I read that where zinc is the only sunscreen active, the product should contain at least 20% zinc to be reliable, whereas that one only has 12%. On this website if you search the product name it'll say how reliable it is.
What about them? I have Colorescience SPF 50 tinted mineral sunscreen, colour: “FLEX” (it actually turns brown as you rub it before putting it on) in my sunscreen armoury!! 😏 I switch this up with several other really good sunscreens that respect my sensitive skin of colour, and also match the shade of my brown complexion. A painstaking process to come up with several (facial) sunscreens. Also, usually I combine 2-4 of them to get closer to my skin colour! Sunscreen makers are gonna have to come with many more brown shades, the same as they always have done for Caucasian skins.
