The formula is noncomedogenic and safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Check out our Vacation Shake Shake SPF 50 Mineral Milk Face Sunscreen review for more information.

Editor Quote: "Not only does it actually sink down on the skin, it doesn't pill under a light layer of makeup. I will say that it did tend to leave some little white creases in my undereye wrinkles, but they weren't super noticeable and were easily rubbed in. Shake Shake definitely leaves a more slick and dewy look than some other mineral sunscreens, but I like that look so it didn't bother me." — Aviel Kanter, editorial director, branded content

Sometimes a hefty price tag really is worth it, and that's most definitely been my experience with these products." — Lisa Robinson, editorial director, branded content
