Biossance's Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen was created to protect and hydrate the skin without leaving a white cast on any skin tone.

The broad-spectrum, mineral SPF 30 sunscreen was created to calm and cool sun-stressed skin. Additionally, the product is meant to leave a soft, dewy finish on the skin.

Key ingredients include zinc oxide to reflect UVA and UVB rays; squalane to lock-in moisture; and waterlily to cool and calm the skin after UV exposer and heat stress.

The 1.6 oz sunscreen retails for $30.
