Physical sunscreen for face?

[rubybleu]

I'm using a medication at the moment that needs to be applied to bare skin, so I need a sunscreen with physical UV filters.

Can anyone recommend a good physical sunscreen for the face? Ideally fragrance free. I've found Sunsense Sensitive which looks perfect but sadly not an option as it contains the only thing I'm allergic to (Diazolidinyl Urea).

Neostrata Sheer Physical Protection SPF50 is great.

Ultrasun uses chemical UV filters sadly! Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the usual physical filters.

Blair, thank you - my husband is in the states this week so I'll check that out & talk him into a trip to Walgreens!

Lush do a powder sun block. Not tried it myself but it's purely physical. I think the idea is to mix some into your favourite moisturizer or bb cream. here it is

It's only spf15 but has very good reviews. (Have only not tried it because I'm skint and have clarins to use up first)

That's a good idea, hopefully it'll be cheaper there! You can get it online here but it's usually around £30-£35.

Bare Minerals do a natural sunscreen in powder form, spf 30, which comes with a built in brush to apply.

Update: bought the Neostrata sunscreen recommended by Blair and I'm very happy with it.

It sits beautifully under mineral makeup. I actually prefer it to Ultrasun and La Roche Posay. It turns out that Skinceuticals and Jan Marini do similar physical sunscreens. Many thanks for the help!

Oh, glad I could help! :) It is fab isn't it? FYI, I just got some quite cheaply from beautyspin.co.uk.
