Zinc Defense Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50

Okay, I have to give this sunscreen some love because I’m actually really impressed with it! 🥰

I received the COSMEDIX Zinc Sunscreen as a free product to try, and I honestly didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. I really like that it’s a zinc sunscreen, but the best part is it doesn’t leave that white cast that so many mineral sunscreens do. 🙌

It’s really hydrating, goes on smoothly, and blends so nicely under makeup. I’ve had no issues with it making my makeup look weird or feeling heavy on my skin.

And I have to say… this is actually a contender with my Biossance Zinc sunscreen, which has been one of my favorites! So that says a lot. 👏

My only complaint is the price. $66 for 2 oz is definitely a little hard to swallow, especially when sunscreen is something I use every day.

But overall? I really, really like this one. ❤️ If you love zinc/mineral sunscreen but hate the white cast and dryness, I’d definitely give this one a try! ☀️

I received this product for free to try, but these are genuinely my own thoughts and opinions.
I would love to make this my every day go to if it was more affordable.

This is a great product. However, I wish the spray sunscreen that was discontinued was still available. The lightweight formula was unique and very comfortable.

Works fine but could be better if it's tinted brown rather than stay white the way many zinc sunscreens are colored. The white shows on my face so I have to either use less or cover it with foundation.

Love this SPF from cosmetix! Goes on smooth and moisturizing and doesn’t leave a white cast. Really my new staple for sun protection!

Received this free with an order so had no expectations…but it turns out I love the consistency and SPF coverage.

left a white cast on my face all day till I washed it off. Didn't melt into my skin as expected

I love this sunscreen so much! It wasn't available for a period of time, but so happy it's back! It goes on smoothly and quenches my skin. It does leave a slight white cast, but it doesn't bother me personally. And I love the smell, almost like almonds.

Just received this product but like it so far���..

Anytime I get something free is a bonus. Live in FL so sunscreen is essential. Just started using.

My favorite sunscreen from another brand was discontinued, so I was on the hunt for another. I have used Cosmedix for years and love most of their products. I decided to try this sunscreen and so glad I did! It's very lightweight, goes on smooth and feels so moisturizing (my skin is starting to become drier the older I get so I need extra moisture). It does leave a slight white glow, but not nearly as bad as others. It makes my skin look "sparkly" ;-) The scent is also pleasant, very light and reminds me of almonds. Very happy with this product and will continue to purchase. Highly recommend!

As a fair skin, easily sunburned person, finding a great sunscreen is super important to me. However, having acne prone, easily clogged skin, I also need one that's lightweight. This sunscreen easily fits right in to both those categories. The texture is super lightweight and smooth, and leaves the skin nice and glowy. It's super easy to reapply and rubs in well, however I did notice a faint white cast on my skin. Because of that, I've been using this as my every day sunscreen by adding it in with a darker foundation to even out the color, or on no makeup makeup days I add a bronzer and concealer on top, or mix it with a glowy liquid highlighter/bronzer. Also, I really lived how my skin didn't react to this at all! With my regular routine of double cleansing, it completely comes off and doesn't clog my pores. If there was no white cast, this would be my perfect sunscreen. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

As a licensed esthetician in the beauty industry, I'm excited to share my professional opinion about the COSMEDIX Zin Defense SPF 50! The COSMEDIX Zinc Defense SPF 50 is a game changer. It is a powerful sunscreen that not only protects your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays, but it also contains zinc oxide. Zinc oxide helps to sooth and calm your skin. I noticed that this sunscreen is super lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for everyday use. I find it hard to find a sunscreen that does not feel super thick on the skin, so it being super light weight makes me love this product even more. It is also packed with antioxidants like most of COSMEDIX's products so it provides that extra defense against free radicals. The only negative about this product being super light weight is that it almost instantly drips out of the bottle as soon as you open it. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

I have been waiting for COSMEDIX to come out with a sunscreen!!! I was extremely happy to try their Zinc Defense SPF 50! I spend a lot of time In the sun and it's important that I wear sunscreen daily. YOU GUYS!!!!! This one is Ahhhhmaaaazzziinnggg!! It's super lightweight, does not feel greasy, absorbs into your skin and does not leave my face white! I usually have a hard time with zinc sunscreens but not this one! I add a pea size and emulsify in my fingertips, and then apply it to my face. I've used this over another serum, or just alone on my skin and I've been happy both ways. The size of the bottle is perfect to keep in your makeup bag or for travel. Nice sleek bottle. Their packaging is so simple yet sophisticated. Love love love this brand! **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

COSMEDIX has so many different great products I was super excited to find out that they have a SPF!!! As a Cosmetologist and makeup artist I cannot stress it enough that it is important to use an SPF your skin will thank you. The packaging is very clean and looks very high end. The product itself feels very silky and not like your normal thick SPF. The smell is very mild nothing too strong. I love that you only need a small amount. I was very pleased that it soaked into the skin and didn't feel like it was just sitting on top of the skin. I worked this into my skincare and it worked very well under makeup and other products I was so happy I didn't get any separation or creasing from my makeup. COSMEDIX is definitely on my recommendation list when my clients ask me about products I'm so glad I'll be able to recommend a new SPF. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

Normally Cosmedix ranks higher on the reviews but the only downfall of this sunscreen is the white overcast and the its consistency is quite fluid. This product only takes a few drops to help spread all over the skin. Be sure to apply onto a fresh cleansed skin for the best protection against the fun with beautifully moisturized skin! If this sunscreen didn't have a whiteish haze, it would be easy to reapply but recommend using a slightly darker foundation color mixed with this sunscreen to create your own tinted foundation. I highly recommend using this sunscreen on its own or as a base for your makeup. This will give you more of a dewy finish but if you use very light powder and a mattefying cream you can achieve a softer look without looking shiny! **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

I absolutely love the texture of this formula, as it's ultra-weightless, super-soft, and that perfect velvety feel. It contains some key ingredients like hydrating Ectoin to protect skin from the environment, age-defying Clove Extract and Goldenrod Extract to ease redness and the look of fine lines, and of course Zinc Oxide to protect from UVA/UVB rays, basically everything I look for in a face sunscreen. It's really blendable, making it easy to wear this alone or underneath makeup. The fact that it's nourishing and protecting from the sun is HUGE. Only thing is that it does leave a slight white cast, but I wouldn't take it off my shelf bc it's really works wonders! I have been a product tester, reviewer, and copywriter for 10+ years and have tried a wide range of sun-protecting products. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

As a cosmetologist of over 15 years having a beauty routine is essential for me. I had the opportunity to try Cosmedix Zinc Defense SPF 50 and was a little underwhelming. As someone with a darker complexion, I found the COSMEDIX Zinc Defense SPF 50 to be disappointing. Despite its promised sun protection, it left a noticeable ashy white cast on my skin, which was not flattering at all. I tried to apply a moisturizer after but it didn't help the cast. I appreciate that it's free from harsh chemicals and is suitable for sensitive skin. While the product may work well for those with lighter skin tones, it didn't blend well with my complexion, making it unsuitable for everyday use. I would recommend trying other sunscreens that cater better to darker skin tones.

As an esthetician and makeup artist in the industry for over a decade, I've worked with many people in the Fitzpatrick scale. Being a person of color my self, it's always difficult to find a sunscreen that's fit for my skin tone. I love the consistency of this sunscreen. Unfortunately, this sunscreen didn't fit well with my skin by itself. I used a quarter teaspoon maybe less and applied to my entire face. This sunscreen was easy to spread and didn't feel sticky. It left a white cast on my face. I applied makeup on top with no issue and you couldn't see the white cast. I don't wear a full face of makeup often so this was disappointing. When out in the sun you have to reapply up to two hours. Another take away is it has a strong chemical scent. This doesn't last long but it wasn't pleasing when applying. As an esthetician and makeup artist, I still think this is a great sunscreen but not for darker skin tones. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

I've been in the beauty industry for over 22 years now as a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician and professional makeup artist. I also live on the gulf coast of Florida and was born a water baby, my family is always on the boat, whether fishing or diving or something else. Sunscreens are constantly being bought and when you find a good one you really tend to keep it well stocked. I was really excited to try the Cosmedix Zinc Defense Spf 50 specifically on the boat, I knew right away I wouldn't care for it as a everyday under makeup sunscreen and I was right as it left a white cast (thst eventually went away) and caused my makeup to not blend well and leave little balls behind. But using it while in the most harmful of the sun's Ray's surrounded by salt water it works wonderfully, first of all an spf 50 is no joke and what I always recommend for a facial sunscreen if possible, it applies really nicely and doesn't cause that reactive burn once the sun starts hitting your face which alot of sunscreens do.. I'll definitely keep this one packed in my boat bag.. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
