La Roche-Posay Anthelios Body and Face Sunscreen, Soft Finish Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 contains 100% of Mineral Filters. Mineral filters work by reflecting and scattering UV rays from skin. Mineral sunscreens are more likely to leave a white cast or a white residue compared to traditional sunscreens. Anthelios Mineral Gentle Lotion Sunscreen is formulated with clay for a soft dry touch finish and blends well into skin.
How to Use: Apply sunscreen to skin and massage in circular motions. Blend well into skin until absorbed and no longer visible.

I liked the consistency of this product but it left a white/gray cast on my skin. I thought it would ware off, but the white film literally lasted for 7 hours. I do not recommend this product for people of color.
1 reply from La Roche-Posay Product Expert team - 30 days ago
Hi There! Depending on the formulation, chemical sunscreens may be easier to rub into the skin and are less likely to leave a white cast. Like mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens should also be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure, to effectively protect your skin from UV rays.

Lisse - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is everything I don’t want in a sunscreen. It has a terrible white cast that isn’t manageable, separates when you sweat, is sometimes irritating (burning), and sticks to dry patches. Do not purchase to use on your face at all. Only positive I could say is I’ve never had a sunburn when wearing.

Most often, I use Neutrogena products but saw this and thought I would try it. I live in the Midwest where weather can be harsh, light skinned and I am 55. I purchased the spf 50 body & face Mineral Anthelios sunscreen-gentle lotion soft finish lotion with Cell-Ox Shield. Absorbed right into my skin and left no white cast or greasy residue and felt moisturized. Perfect for under make up! I would recommend as it is a decent price point and works really well.

Hi there! We are so sorry to hear about your experience with our Anthelios SPF 50 Gentle Lotion Mineral Sunscreen. 100% mineral filter sunscreens are formulated only using Titanium Dioxide and/or Zinc Oxide as the active ingredients. These mineral actives are opaque powders, so a 100% mineral sunscreen can leave a white cast on some skin tones. To help the formula blend into the skin, dispense onto fingers and warm in circular motion, apply onto skin in small sections. Rub well until the formula is no longer visible. We will be sure to share your feedback with our team! We hope you can give our products another try in the near future!

I have light to medium skin tone and this sunscreen gave me a white cast. It’s a thicker consistency so I really had to take the time to rub it in, or else it will leave white streak marks. Besides the white cast, it’s not as drying as other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. It didn’t pill either.

This is not a gentle lotion! It is a mineral barrier sunscreen, which is what I am looking for, but goes on as a thick white paste, that needs to be rubbed in and takes a while to get absorbed.

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback on our Anthelios SPF 50 Gentle Lotion Mineral Sunscreen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product! I needed something I could wear everyday that would not have that funky smell after a few hours. This is thinner and lighter weight than Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. No smell at the end of the day and it is hot in Arizona! But do not store it on its cap or it might pour out faster than you need!

As other reviewers have mentioned, this leaves a REALLY white cast that won't go away no matter how little product you use or how much you try to massage the product into the skin. (And if you sweat, the white cast comes back!) I am already pale as can be and this left me looking like I had recently escaped my crypt. I know I don't smell like a daisy when I'm sweating under a hot sun, but the combination of this sunscreen + my sweat left a foul, rank odor on my skin that I had never smelled on myself before. Neither I nor the product smelled upon application, only after I had finished my workout/walk/etc was the smell noticeable. This may not happen to other people using the product, but I thought I'd mention it just in case as this smell was distinct from my usual after-workout stink.

Hi Jane! Thank you for your feedback on La Roche-Posay Anthelios Body and Face Soft Finish Mineral Sunscreen Lotion. We are sorry to hear that you experienced a white cast after application!
