Super-sheer, no-white-cast, mineral body sunscreen / 4 oz 

Colorescience Total Protection No-Show Body Shield SPF 50 is the completely sheer, mineral SPF body sunscreen that blends into skin so beautifully you'll forget it's there — even on darker skin tones, where most mineral formulas tend to fall short.

If you've been burned (hee) by one too many chalky, ghostly mineral sunscreens, this one might win you back over. Colorescience built this formula around patented, non-nano zinc oxide, but engineered it to melt over skin with a velvety, no-show finish so that you get mineral protection without the trade-off that usually comes with it.

It goes well beyond basic UV protection, too: Colorescience's proprietary EnviroScreen Technology shields skin from UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light, and infrared radiation, while a lineup of antioxidants (including squalane, bisabolol, and Lipochroman) helps defend against the free radical damage that contributes to premature aging. Moisturizing ingredients like squalane and jojoba seed oil mean this can also double as your body lotion on days when you don't want to layer separate products, and reviewers consistently mention how fast-absorbing it feels, even under clothing.

It's also one of the few mineral formulas that we've found actually delivers on "no white cast" across a range of skin tones; it's water- and sweat-resistant for a full 80 minutes, too, so it can keep up with a day at the beach, a workout, or just a long, sweaty summer.

One thing to know upfront: because it's a bit of an investment for full-body use, our budget-minded testers told us they reserve it for the areas that see the most repeat sun exposure (arms, chest, hands) and pair it with a more basic sunscreen elsewhere.

Reach for this one if:
- You've sworn off mineral sunscreens in the past because they left a visible cast
- You have sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin and want to avoid chemical UV filters
- You're acne-prone and need SPF that won't clog pores or feel heavy
- You want one product to double as body lotion and sunscreen, especially for travel or the gym bag
- You're active outdoors and need something that holds up through sweat, swimming, and movement
