Tower28's SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 sunscreen is a mineral formula that caters to sensitive skin. The author confesses a love for trying new sunscreens, noting the vast improvement in options over the past decade. Mineral SPFs have evolved from thick, chalky textures to lightweight, enjoyable skincare steps.
First-of-its-Kind Under SOS Line
This sunscreen is the first SPF in Tower28's viral SOS skincare line, which targets sensitive skin concerns like redness, irritation, and breakouts. The formula features a whipped texture that blends effortlessly and feels lightweight. It is tinted, avoiding a white cast on medium-olive skin, though reviews indicate it may leave a cast on darker complexions.
Skin-Approved Ingredients
The sunscreen holds seals from the National Eczema Association, National Rosacea Society, and National Psoriasis Foundation. It includes non-comedogenic, soothing ingredients like ceramides, allantoin, and alpha bisabolol to calm skin and prevent breakouts. It functions as a tinted moisturizer-sunscreen hybrid, offering light coverage along with protection.
Makeup-Friendly Formula
The author, a makeup enthusiast, appreciates that the sunscreen layers well under foundation, blush, and bronzer without pilling or separation. It absorbs quickly without greasiness, leaving skin smooth and hydrated—a major benefit for dry skin.
