Overview
A mineral face sunscreen from Beauty by Earth built on non-nano zinc oxide for SPF 50 broad-spectrum coverage, made in the USA from natural and organic ingredients in a Vanilla Coconut scent. It is formulated as a daily lotion for dry, normal, and sensitive skin.
The 1.7 fl oz bottle is sized for face use rather than full-body coverage, and the lotion carries 80 minutes of water resistance along with reef-friendly, non-nano zinc oxide as its active ingredient. It is scented in Vanilla Coconut, so buyers who want a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen should look elsewhere. The brand markets it as leaving no white cast, though mineral formulas vary by skin tone in how visible the residue is.
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum, zinc oxide only
- Made in USA, organic and natural ingredients
- 80-minute water resistance
- Vanilla Coconut scent, 1.7 fl oz
Who it's for
Suits people who prefer mineral over chemical UV filters for facial use, including sensitive-skin and reef-conscious buyers who swim or spend time outdoors. Less suited to anyone wanting a fragrance-free formula or a bottle sized for body application.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Non-nano zinc oxide as the sole active ingredient
- Reef-friendly and made in the USA
- Moisturizing lotion base suited to dry or sensitive skin
- 80 minutes of water resistance
- Vanilla Coconut scent rules out a fragrance-free preference
- 1.7 fl oz size is face-only, not a body bottle
- Mineral formulas can still leave a visible cast on some skin tones
Performance notes
Zinc oxide works as a physical filter, sitting on the skin surface and reflecting UV rays rather than absorbing into skin, which is how the formula reaches broad-spectrum SPF 50 coverage. The 80-minute water resistance rating means it holds up through light swimming or sweating but still needs reapplication after toweling off or extended water exposure.
