Up until recently, I pretty much avoided mineral sunscreens for my dark skin, opting for SPF that uses chemical UV filters instead. Non-tinted mineral sunscreens have a reputation for leaving a ghostly white cast on your skin, which my past experiences have confirmed.
When I first heard about Sōl Labs Natural Mineral Daily Sunscreen Lotion from our beauty and fashion editor, I was immediately intrigued, albeit skeptical. This non-nano mineral sunscreen harnesses Korean skin care science and promises to work for every skin tone and skin type. Our testing team also deemed it one of the best sunscreens this summer, and it has plenty of positive customer reviews, so I was eager to see how it would work for my dark skin. After using this mineral sunscreen from Sōl Labs for two weeks, here’s why I think it’s definitely worth buying.
Sōl Labs Natural Mineral Daily Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30
This mineral sunscreen from Sōl Labs has totally changed the way I view mineral sunscreens as someone with dark skin. The non-tinted formula rubs into your skin quickly, leaving no white cast behind, and is so hydrating it can double as your primary face moisturizer (though you can use it on your body too).
Sōl Labs’ sunscreen lotion actually delivers on its promise to seamlessly blend into all skin types. I found that the sunscreen rubbed into my face quickly every time, even when I applied more product than needed. While some mineral sunscreens leave behind an obvious white cast, others leave behind a more subtle tinge that’s still unsightly. With Sōl Labs, this mineral sunscreen acted more like the chemical sunscreens I’ve clung onto for years with its undetectable finish in both natural and artificial light. I’m a daily sunscreen user, so having a sunscreen that goes on nicely is important to me, and Sōl Labs offers just that.
