    I'm tired of brands trying to come out with 'universal' skin products. What works on my fair skin is not going to work on somebody with a deep skin tone, and vice versa. Just come out with an inclusive shade range, instead.

    yeah I actually wanted to do a haul with this brand just to show how they perform but now I’m rethinking that. Only sunscreen that’s clear is supergoop unseen sunscreen so I really like that one!!! No oil, shimmer, doesn’t claim to have coverage. Just CLEAR!!!

      Very easy to find clear chemical sunscreens, which is what Supergoop unseen sunscreen is. But for those of us with sensitivities to chemical sunscreen, it’s much harder to find sheer mineral sunscreens

Have spent too much money on trying these brands no matter how clean the formula and maybe they are less like glue texture than others lmao but them coming out of the tube or etc looking "sheer/light" ends there the second you apply it to your face. I so badly have tried to make zinc physical spfs work for years because they are so much healthier for you but having super blemish and oily prone skin they are the koss of death for me as I'm so congested by the end of the day and ruins the efforts of all my amazing skincare year round.

    You articulated your thoughts so well! I feel the same way - this is my current favorite sunscreen. I don’t understand why they couldn’t be transparent (ha) about the sheerness of the product on all skin tones. Not every product works for every skin tone and/or skin type, why do brands feel like sunscreens need to be marketed as if they do?

    appreciate your rant - it's spot on. bummer said didn't respond well to the constructive criticism. despite all that, I love this this sunscreen. even layered to use the proper amount, doesn't dehydrate my skin throughout the day. keeps it feeling moisturized. biossance has a nice zinc sunscreen too. not as hydrating as this one but good. definitely leaves a white cast.

    I don’t think it’s a surprise but it’s important to mention: brands that tout themselves as clean and from some sort of ethical bent that align w the “goop” type consumer has consistently been shown to have problematic responses to their treatment of race: saie, kosas, ilia, etc. It’s important for consumers to pay attention- even if a brand claims they’re ethically superior but is tone deaf to race and ethnicity - save your money. Plenty of well meaning white owned brands have gotten away with this for years for appealing to white consumers. But with the internet keeping receipts we are much better at keeping track of these issues- spend your money and encourage the growth on businesses that are owned by anyone considered a “minority” and by brands who take the time and attention to be mindful and compassionate to response if they’re held accountable. There are sooo many products out there!

      @@Balletified I would encourage you to look beyond just a shade range of one product when determining if a brand is inclusive or not. Historically, Ilia has not been kind to people of color and I am basing this on direct feedback from my friends who are influencers and are also black. Prior to Ilia expanding their shades this year, they had disregarded and ignored POC consumers for YEARS, saying "oh we have enough shades, the frosted concealer packaging just makes it look lighter than it is." And, "we developed these shades to include everyone!" When they launched a line of glosses last year they launched all light pink shades and one medium orange. When they launched their expanded skin tints and concealers, they only added 4 deep shades but added a bunch of medium and light shades. My friend has an entire highlight on Ilia here: instagram.com/stories/highlights/17872337186199976/

    Thanks for this review! Was so curious how this differed from Slip Tint (which I also like). Love what you said about the pump - working in the beauty industry, it's pretty simple to get a pump with the proper dosage for a product (as there are lots of options). It seems like they aesthetically wanted the tube and pump to match Slip Cover which is totally fine - but I think there should be more education on how much of the spf you need to use to get that protection. Agree with just being honest - I think it's common knowledge now that zinc is white and very, very difficult to formulate to be "sheer" on all skin tones at a high level - so if it doesn't work on deeper skin tones, that should be communicated - Carli

The Kinship is very moisturizing, I wouldn't say it's dewy unless you're in a hot or humid climate. In the summertime it's a little too heavy for me but in the winter it totally sets to a satin finish. The Saie is just straight up dewy at all times no matter what.
