A Good Sunblock for Sensitive Skin?

Do you happen to sell sunblock products? I'm an active person and I do my exercise outdoors 2-3 times a week. And I would love to use sunblock made for sensitive skin. I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Ah, the question of a good sunblock!! I live in Central Oregon and the sun is very strong here, it has been a challenge to find a good sunblock for sensitive skin.

Here is what I've learned so far about sunblock for sensitive skin, and some of the ones I use with their benefits and drawbacks here at our sensitive skin sunscreen page.

And here are some of the sensitive skin sunblocks I have tried, or will try, when I run out the ones I am currently using!


The biggest problem for me with using safe sunscreens is that they make my face white, so I've been experimenting with using mineral makeup, after applying sunscreen to my face. This actually has increased the sunblocking ability of the sunscreen as well as looking a little better! :-)

What has worked best for me, is using the mineral treatment from my favorite wholesale skin care products on top of my sunscreen. The other mineral makeups I've tried look kind of flat and settle into wrinkles, but these leave a very natural finish and does not clog the pores or look like I have makeup on. It also seems to be good for the skin as I don't break out from it.

I find it a challenge to get the right color of mineral makeup and so I use two shades of the minerals, which I can mix and match. Please do share what you learn about finding a good sunblock for sensitive skin!
