Instagram’s glowing with mineral sunscreen love this week—clean, safe SPF that suits every skin tone. You may think sunscreen’s a July thing, but UV rays don’t clock out. They sneak through clouds on April Tuesdays, creep through windows while you’re sipping coffee, quietly nudging your skin toward fine lines and sagging.

That’s why I rely on mineral SPF year-round—it protects, simplifies, and skips the drama.

But chemical sunscreens? Hard pass. Ingredients like oxybenzone or avobenzone—flagged by the FDA for hormone-disrupting potential—soak into your skin, acting sneaky.

Mineral sunscreens, with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are GRASE-approved (Generally Regarded as Safe and Effective - sounds like a ’90s boy band, but better). They sit on top of your skin, a polite bouncer blocking UVA and UVB rays—no hormone issues, no ocean reef guilt. In 2025, dermatologistss praise these for sensitive skin, and new blends melt in smoothly, no chalky Casper flashbacks.

At Indie Beauty Market we keep it easy. All our sunscreens are mineral based. The Tinted Solar Stick SPF 40’s a quick swipe—perfect for the tennis or pickleball court, no mirror needed.

The BB Cremes, in four shades from light to deep, double as primers or light foundations. I wear them solo on weekends—they're all I need on grocery runs or the golf course—for a glowy look without fuss. Just add mascara. They’re broad-spectrum, SPF 50, clean minerals that protect instantly—and no endocrine disruptors.

Why wear sunscreen daily? UVA rays pierce clouds (80%!) and glass, every day, all year long. Use a shot glass full for your body, a nickel sized dollop for your face—and reapply every two hours if you're outdoors.

Got kids? My mineral stash keeps them safe for dirt-rolling playtime, no chemical concerns.

Do you wear foundation with SPF? It’s backup, not the star—layer a mineral sunscreen base first.

Check the bottle: zinc or titanium? Solid. Oxybenzone or avobenzone? Pass.

Try a clean SPF routine and tag @IndieBeautyMarket on Instagram—I want to see your glow.

Clean beauty’s your skin’s win now—and in 20 years, when you’re the only one at brunch without crow’s feet.

PERFECT!

"This is the perfect everyday base - it looks so natural and leaves a beautiful and subtle glow. The fact it is SPF50 makes it an absolute 10/10!

BEST SUNSCREEN STICK EVER!

"This sunscreen stick is worth every penny. Excellent, Excellent product. There isn't a foul smell to it, it isn't greasy, it's invisible on my skin, it glides really nicely on the skin, it doesn't irritate or sting my skin which is great because I kinda have sensitive skin, and it has a nice feel to it."
