I am a big fan of clinique almost makeup powder with spf 15, that’s my touchup powder. and I like Paula Begoun’s and Benefit’s versions too. All contain physical sunscreens for instant protection, are nice and silky with good colors and are pressed so they don’t spill all over my bag. My skin is very oily so if I apply a lot, it gives me enough protection and absorbs all the oil.

I can think of a few products that only use titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that definitely have SPF ratings written on the bottle.

“Because sunblocks reflect all the UVR, they do not carry an SPF rating.”

Did that sentence even make sense? As far as I know, both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide both have excellent UVB protection and mediocre UVA protection – since SPF only measures UVB, then logically, those sunscreens containing the aforementioned ingredients could certainly carry an SPF rating.

Energy – micronized ingredients, especially in mineral makeups, can be harmful b/c your skin absorbs it into your bloodstream.

“Sunblocks contain zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, kaolin, talc or iron oxide. And they are opaque, like the white stuff lifeguards put on their noses.”

not if they are micronized.

You could also try the Colorscience Sunforgettable SPF30 powder. I have it in clear, and I also keep a Neutrogena spray for my body.
And, yeah I have a parasol and hats, otherwise my Irish-French skin turns lobster red.
