Research shows that making sunscreen part of your daily face care routine — whether on vacation or walking your dog —is crucial to protecting your skin. But I’m the first to admit I need to get better at it.
I’ve tried what seems like countless brands, but I always seem to struggle with how the sunscreen feels or smells when I apply it to my face. Which means I don’t apply sunscreen nearly as often as I should.
Lately, I’m having what I would call a great streak with Daygleamer Mineral Sunscreen Serum SPF 34 by Well People. Non-nano zinc oxide is the main ingredient in this mineral sunscreen serum, but it also features a lineup of plant-based products including aloe leaf juice, (which includes vitamins A, C, and E) orange peel, lime, and ginger root oils.
When I apply it to my face and neck it doesn’t feel uncomfortably heavy or oily. That’s a big win for me. I’ve used it both under light makeup and without any makeup.
Well People offers a varied collection of makeup and skincare products ranging from mascara and eye shadow to a mushroom gel-cream moisturizer. All products are vegan.
While the number of certifications out there can be confusing, it’s worth noting Well People features more than 100 products that are EWG-verified. The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit that focuses on chemical safety in consumer products.
Daygleamer Mineral Sunscreen Serum SPF 34 is available on the Well People website. The cost is $26. Net weight 1.7 fl. oz. (50 mL) packaging means you shouldn’t have any trouble adding it into the mix with your other TSA carry-on approved toiletries.
As a thank you for their hard work, healthcare workers, teachers, first responders and members of the military receive 20% off when spending $50 or more at Well People.
