Let’s talk sun protection, shall we? Finding a zinc-based sunscreen that doesn’t make you look like Casper the Friendly Ghost or leave you feeling like a greased-up potato is a straight-up miracle. But guess what? The skincare gods have smiled upon us with the Sunvisor Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 35 by Saie Beauty. Saie goodbye to all your sunscreen woes because this little gem is here to save your skin (literally). Without further ado, here’s my Saie sunscreen review.

Love at First Skin Tint

I was first introduced to Saie’s slip tint moisturizer three years ago. They quickly became one of my favorite clean beauty brands, now I own several Saie products. All are suitable for a wide range of skin tones. When I heard about the Sunvisor, my excitement levels were off the charts. I had high hopes, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

Why Saie Sunvisor is a Must-Have

Clean Ingredients and Green:

No nasty chemicals here, just pure, skin-loving goodness. It’s perfect for those of us with sensitive skin. The ingredients list reads like a dream—free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dye, and synthetic fragrance-free. Saie is committed to creating products that are as kind to your skin as they are to the environment, and this sunscreen is no exception. Plus, with the Saie Clean Tube and clean pump, it’s easy to use right down to the end of the tube, reducing plastic waste.

Hydration Station:

My skin tends to play a little game in the summer: will it be normal today, or will it veer into the dry skin zone? With Saie Sunvisor, I don’t have to worry. It’s packed with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and hyaluronic acid that keep my skin dewy without crossing into oil-slick territory. The glow it gives is less “I just ran a marathon” and more “I woke up like this.” Aloe vera, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid are the stars here, working together to ensure your skin stays moisturized and happy all day long. (Much like slip tint tinted moisturizer’s formula.) It’s like a tall glass of water for your face.

We Love a Versatile Queen:

Whether you’re going au naturel or layering up with makeup, Sunvisor has you covered. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave that dreaded white cast. You can toss it in your beach bag and reapply without feeling like you’re wearing a mask. It absorbs quickly, so there’s no need to wait around before heading out the door. Plus, it doesn’t pill under makeup, which is a huge win in my book. Seriously, it’s the best mineral sunscreen multitasker we all need in our beauty arsenal.

My Honest Saie Sunscreen Review

When it comes to skincare and beauty products, I’m definitely a less is more kinda girl, I love a light feel. So, when I first tried Saie Sunvisor, I was immediately struck by its texture. Unlike many mineral sunscreens, it’s silky and easy to apply. No tugging, no rubbing for five minutes just to get it to disappear. One smooth swipe, and it’s blended in. As someone with normal to sometimes dry skin, this was a revelation. Most sunscreens tend to either dry me out or make me look like an oil slick by noon. Not this one. It strikes the perfect balance, leaving my skin looking fresh and hydrated. Can I get an amen? I love that this also doubles up with ingredients that will help my skin and prevent free radical damage.

I also appreciate that it doesn’t have a strong scent. A light, barely-there fragrance that’s pleasant but not overpowering is all you get. This is perfect for those of us who prefer our skincare products to be gentle on the senses.

Even though it feels light, it’s still working hard to protect you. Reapply every two hours if you’re out in the sun. Trust me, future you will thank you. If you’re wearing makeup, consider using a sunscreen spray or powder to touch up throughout the day without disturbing your look. No one wants a sunburnt nose ruining their vibe.

3. Sensitive Skin Savior:

If you’re prone to breakouts or irritation with new products, patch test first. Saie Sunvisor is generally kind to sensitive skin, but it’s always better to be safe. Apply a small amount on your wrist or behind your ear and wait 24 hours to see if there’s any reaction. Better safe than sorry, right?
