Please don't ever stop making your Pure Mineral Sunscreen. I have Rosacea and the formulation makes my skin silky, hides the redness, and provides protection from the sun. Amazing product! Thank you.
—Rowena
I absolutely LOVE your Pure Mineral Sunscreen and Skin Recovery Cleanser for my very dry skin. I am taking Accutane, and my skin is extremely sensitive to most over-the-counter lotions, cleansers, sunscreens, and make-up. I don't know what I'd do without your non-irritating, beautifully blending products. Thank you, Paula.

Pure Mineral Sunscreen Great Makeup Base
Pure Minerals Sunscreen works great under my mineral foundation. With this as my base, I can go all day and my makeup still look fresh at the end of the day. It doesn't clog your pores or sting your skin or eyes.
—Linda Summers
Pure Mineral Sunscreen
Wonderful! Other brands make our eyes sting and turn our clothes yellow. This one has NEVER stung my eyes or discolored our clothes. Love it for the kids!
—Julie Andrews Lee
We can finally wear sunscreen
I have always had problems with sunscreen stinging my face, and I bought this hoping the mineral formula would be gentler. It felt so good on my skin that I dared to try it on my 6 year old daughter, who has severe dermatitis that is triggered by both the sun and chemical sunscreens. Not only is she not bothered by this mineral formula, for the first time in her life she is able to run around on the playground on a bright day without huge, hot, red welts swelling up all over her cheeks. Her face looks better than it has since she started kindergarden, soft and clear and sweet. This works far better for her than her medication! I am so happy with this product I could hug someone. Thank you so much for making something that will make my little girl's life so much more comfortable.
—Jennifer
Amazing!
This amazing sunscreen goes on so incredibly smooth and silky. I use it on my super sensitive children all the time. It is the only sunscreen I trust to put on them to keep them safe from the sun and to keep their skin free from chemical irritation.

Pure Mineral Sunscreen
I love your pure mineral sunscreen.
It has been discontinued in Australia, which is really disappointing. Please bring it back
—Roxanne
Dont leave home without it!
LOVE IT! Not only does it provide the best sun protection possible, but it works as a great primer for my foundation too! Silky and smooth. I love knowing my skin is as protected as it can be when I leave the house!
—Michelle
Did not absorb into my skin
Did not absorb into my skin; left a white film and my skin felt waxy. Love Paula's products, but this one, at least for me, was not a winner.
—Maura
Love This Sunscreen!
I have sensitive skin, and this sunscreen does not irritate. It goes on initially looking rather white and almost oily, but within a few seconds it becomes quite matte and the white disappears. My daytime routine has become: Wash with One-Step Cleanser, followed by Skin Recovery toner, then the wonderful Skin Recovery Anti-Oxidant Serum (especially under the eye area), and top with the Pure Mineral Sunscreen, which makes a perfect finishing and moisturizing base for my mineral makeup. For daily year-round use I am quite happy to use this sunscreen. My only wish is that this sunscreen were a higher SPF rating, perhaps 30.
—Carole McMurray
Fantastic Product
This is the only sunscreen for sensitive skin that I can use under my eyes. No irritation whatsoever, and I can wear it under my eye makeup. I love it.
—Rachel
Love it, Love it
I use this sunscreen all year round...When I put it on it feels so great on my skin, like it just calms it and makes it feel totally moisturized, soft and calm. I absolutely love it!! thanks
—Jami
Love it
This is the first all-mineral sunscreen I've found that isn't greasy. It goes on smooth and pretty much blends in (I have olive skin). It also manages to help skin look matte all day.
—Erica
mineral sunscreen
This sunscreen goes on smoothly, not too oily or too dry. It looks great under makeup, except for the chalky color it leaves your skin. I am not prone to breakouts but the few times i have used this i have broken out.
—D.O.
Great For Faces!
I like this one even better than the mineral SPF formulated just for faces. This evens out my really red skin, and leaves my fair skin with a gorgeous glow. Wears fabulously under makeup and doesn't cause breakouts. Such a good value for the amount too! Love It!!!
—Curry
BEST SUNSCREEN MY FACE HAS EVER MET!!!
Adore it! Zero irritation, even eye area. White cast vanishes as dries down. Perfect under makeup or al-fresco. Please make portable size & SPF30.
—Carol Edlavitch
Chalky & Purple Cast
The sunscreen seems to work relatively well but the color coat it leaves on your skin is disgustingly chalky & has a purple cast to it. Very thick to spread and does not go very far at all on the body.
—Christina
physical sunblock!
this one has a higher titanium dioxide rating than the skin recovery moisturizer SPF15... so it is a better sunblock, but also more white pasty, and feels a bit more oily..
great to layer it on during the day as a pure sunblock.
—winnie
having trouble with sunscreen.:/
i have sensitive skin. and i read that if thats you skin type is that get a sunscreen with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide only, but it also leaves a whitish cast :/ and this ones only SPF 15 which blocks out only 95% of rays???? :( i don't know what to do!
—koki
Only white and chalky if you do not rub it IN!
The people who say this leaves their skin white, chalky, or purple haven't rubbed it in fully. This sunscreen is so gentle on the skin and absorbs well even into my oily/combination skin!
—Ben
2nd Review (BEST SUNSCREEN MY FACE HAS EVER MET
For those who complain of white caste/greasy feel,try using less than the recom."circle" in brochure(it's 2-D-what you dispense has depth). Don't use other moist.-product IS moisturizer. I use smaller glob after toner or toner/antiox.,wait a bit & I'm set! W-w/o makeup,it's great stuff!
I'd still love to have 1-1-1/2 oz. refill. tube as hand/arm cream on the go.
—Carol Edlavitch
Didn't agree with me
This sunscreen made my rosacea zone turn bright pink. That coupled with the whitish cast made me look clown like! I have since used another zinc/titanium oxide sunscreen without difficulty. ? something in the base?

Great Product
This sunscreen is great. Doesn't stain your clothes like avobenzone does. Goes on pretty smoothly, dries up some so it's not too greasy. I am wondering why other sunscreens with similar levels of mineral sunscreens tout their products as SPF 30? Neutrogena has one that is similar and claims to be an SPF 30, but that product is no where near as good as this one because it is much thicker and is waxy, doesn't blend as well as Paula's does.
—Suzanne Williams
Wonderful product
This product is great on my dry skin under make-up. If rubbed in sufficently, it doesn't leave a white cast. It also is great for my two-year-old grand-daughter's sensitive skin. My only criticism is that it should be in the same sort of tube as the non-greasy sunscreen.
—S. J. K.
Wonderful, wish it were higher SPF
This is the only sunscreen I've tried which doesn't irritate, and after using it for a year now, I really like it a lot. It goes on nicely and although whitish looking at first, it blends in very quickly and feels good on my skin. It seems to be moisturizing, too, and is great on my mature skin. When I use this, I don't seem to need an additional moisturizer.
My only complaint is the low SPF of 15 (thus the rating of 4 rather than 5). I wonder why this product can't be made a bit higher in SPF. I use this for my daily sunscreen protection, but if I know I'll be in strong sun I have to use something else to get a higher level of protection.
