A brush-on mineral powder sunscreen that sets makeup, soaks up oil and adds a translucent finish. Powder sunscreens are hard to apply thickly, so it is best as a top-up, not the only layer.

Overview
A brush-on zinc oxide powder carries the sun protection in this Derma E product, sold as a translucent finish for all skin tones. The listing adds ceramides, oil absorption and makeup setting as extra jobs.
Powder sunscreen is a neat way to reapply over makeup without smearing, and the mineral filter suits sensitive faces. The limits are coverage, since an even thick layer is hard to brush on, and the odd size entry in the listing.
Who it's for
Combination skin that wears makeup and needs a reapplication step is the situation here. Anyone relying on it as the only sunscreen, or spending long hours outdoors, needs a lotion layer first.
Pros and cons
- Mineral zinc oxide filter
- Sets makeup and absorbs oil
- Translucent for all skin tones
- Water resistant claim
- Skin type listed as combination only
- Coverage hard to judge for powder
- Water resistance time not given
Performance notes
Zinc oxide stays on the surface and reflects and scatters UV, and brushing deposits a thin layer, so real protection depends on how many passes are made. Powder is useful for reapplying over makeup but rarely matches the rated amount of a lotion.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the Derma E Brush On Mineral Powder Sunscreen?
The title gives 0.16 oz. The volume field in the listing reads 16 fluid ounces, which looks like a data error for a small powder.
Can brush-on powder replace lotion sunscreen?
Not on its own. It works best as a top-up over a lotion layer, because powder rarely applies as thickly as the rated amount.
Is it a mineral sunscreen?
The listing names zinc oxide and sells it as a mineral powder.
