transparent sunscreen

Good tint, good texture, and MINERAL sunscreen...I really like a mineral sunscreen and now again, I'm hearing about certain combinations of chemical sunscreens, previously considered safe, can form a carcinogenic substance when combined. ...I really like this BB cream, I like that it's matte and it's not too full but not too transparent either. It's best for summer in my opinion, and gives me a nice sun-kissed glow.

It works really well on its own and the brand is really transparent about the ingredients.
