Made In The Shade: My Favorite Tinted Sunscreens
I wear a tinted moisturizer with SPF year-round, but spring always seems to bring on all the sunscreen questions! I’ve been asked about my favorite tinted sunscreens a lot over the last couple of months, so I’m rounding up all my favorite natural tinted sunscreens in one post for you! (scroll down for a few untinted options, too!)
If you’re not already using a tinted sunscreen, these little wonders can be a big time-saver in your routine. All of these below are all-in-one moisturizers, so you get your SPF, moisturizer, makeup primer, and some skin coverage all in one application. I really like that, since my routine in the morning is often a bit (or a lot) rushed. Some of these below are more moisturizing than others and some don’t prime makeup as well, but depending on your needs, all of these will make your routine a little easier. Each of these is completely natural, using only physical sun blockers instead of chemical sunscreens that can bio-accumulate and wreak havoc on your hormones.

My Favorite All-Natural Tinted Sunscreens
Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40
This is brand-spanking new and already selling out fast. This SPF is unique as it has the feel of a serum and offers really good coverage, but it melts into skin and dries to a dewy finish. What I love is that they have SO many shades, including darker tones. While I haven’t tested it out in sunny weather extensively yet since we’re just now getting some warm, sunny days, but I have a feeling this will be a favorite for summer when I don’t want to wear a lot of makeup. Find it here.
Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30
This is another new one and happens to be a great budget pick! Our family loves Babo Botanicals so I was so excited to see them come out with a tinted version too. It’s lightweight but I will say a little goes a long way, in my opinion. It gives light color that seems to blend well with any skin tone. Plus, it’s a good budget pick!
WELL PEOPLE Bio Tint Multi-Action Moisturizer with SPF 30
Well PEOPLE’s Bio Tint has pretty good coverage, so you may be able to skip foundation while using it. It dries to a semi-matte finish, which is especially great for more oily skin types. The product is listed as good for all skin types, but I have combo skin and it’s definitely not enough moisture for me on its own. I recommend layering a serum or light face oil under it, otherwise, it may be a little too dry. Once again, oily skin types would probably do well with it on its own. It dries quickly and I can easily layer makeup on top of it and the coverage lasts all day, which are big pluses. They also have great ingredients. This comes in 4 shades.
Suntegrity Impeccable Skin SPF 30
I’ve tried a lot of tinted sunscreens but Suntegrity’s has remained a constant favorite. It’s not too dry or too oily for my combo skin and it spreads on easily. It also gives just the right amount of coverage for me. I usually forgo foundation when I wear this. Makeup layers great over top of it, also. It’s a perfect multitasker!
Though I clearly have a favorite, I’ve tried a lot of all-natural tinted sunscreens and all 4 of these are perfect options for a clean tinted sunscreen that works. Some honorable mentions: Ayuna Velo is luxe, silky smooth, and has a cult following despite its high price tag. Think Sun is another affordable option but a little goes a long way with this, or else it gets chalky fast.
Untinted Options:
Erin’s Faces Peptide Sunscreen -This is one of the pricier ones on the list but applies SO well and doubles as effective skincare. Use code MAISONPUR to save on your first order from them.
Here’s to some safer time in the sun!
