    I use the Elta MD UV Clear, which does contain octinoxate, but that doesn’t bother my skin at all.

    I tried UV physical years ago.  Now, it has since been reformulated I’m fairly sure.  I found it weird.  It actually made my skin itch so much I sneezed.  I didn’t use it.  The tint is fairly subtle, I think.  I just also tried UV daily, which comes in tinted and untinted forms.  I got the tinted.  What I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t provide any coverage at all, but when I added a powder foundation over it, it looked cakey and powdery and wrong.  But on its own, it might be fine.  They are all somewhere in between dewy and matte imo.

    Thanks sarahf – I know, sunscreens are hard…

    Yeah, I think chemical sunscreen ingredients don’t bother my skin…I just like mineral ones better. The only chemical ones I’m kind of willing to use are for when I go to the gym…I notice that many mineral sunscreens – like the Avene one I just bought – will start coming out through my pores and “pool” in certain areas during a workout, even though it’s water resistant. Not attractive…
    None of the mineral mdsolarsciences do do that…but at that price I can’t afford to slather it on my arms and chest every day…plus, like I said, it does start to feel drying if I wear it several days in a row.
