Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush

The broad-spectrum sunscreen powder that makes sunscreen reapplication simple / 0.15 oz

Colorescience Sheer Matte Sunscreen Brush SPF 30 is one of the best ways to bring your SPF on the go: this talc-free, weightless, sheer powder can be reapplied throughout the day — even over makeup — to make sure you’re protected.

The only brush-on powder recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective broad-spectrum sunscreen, Colorescience’s Sheer Matte Sunscreen Brush features patented, non-nano zinc oxide with a special coating to ensure lasting efficacy. This finely milled powder boasts broad-spectrum SPF 30, PA+++ UVA/UVB protection in addition to HEV (blue) light protection (it’s been tested to shield against 64.9% of HEV light, thanks to micronized iron oxides). It features excellent antioxidant protection, too, with a trio of antioxidants including green tea, grapeseed, and oakwood extracts to shield skin from pollution and free radical damage, along with tara tannins and sunflower sprouts to shield from the damaging effects of infrared radiation.

While we wouldn’t recommend using it as your only source of sun protection on a sunny day, it is a fantastic solution for sunscreen reapplication and a great backup to have on hand — in your beach bag, in your work bag, in your car. It’s water and sweat resistant up to 40 minutes, too.

The Sheer Matte SPF 30 sunscreen brush is also one of our favorite sun products for oily, blemish-prone, sensitive skin types that find most sunscreens to be too greasy; this formula absorbs excess oil and minimizes the appearance of pores, reducing shine for up to 6 hours and leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed. It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive skin, and while it’s particularly beloved by those with fair skin tones, it applies sheer on oily or well-moisturized skin of any tone. And a bonus we love: the bristles are antimicrobial.
