Daily mineral suncream

Can anyone recommend a mineral sunscreen that is good for daily use? I don't wear make up so doesn't need to work with foundation.

Are you looking for non-nano, or is nano ok? If non-nano, I use the Badger tinted facial one. It's light and not greasy. It does leave a slight chalkyness if you look closely but it's the best I've found (NB it only comes in one shade which is fairly light). You can probably find something better if you're willing to use nano though.

What's nano?

@AntiHop the active ingredient in mineral sunscreen is zinc oxide and/or titanium oxide. The particles can be nano (very small) which looks better as it's pretty much invisible but can be absorbed through the skin which may (or may not, no one really knows) cause health problems; or they can be non-nano and just sit on the outside of the skin, this is less risky health wise but can give a bit of a chalky white look.

I hope that helps!

I like the Etude House mild airy finish one.

Korean. They know their sunscreen. It's mineral (allergy to others) and it's the only one that doesn't break me out
