💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time CZcamsr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment! - Jak na to + styl
Did I watch every short? Yes. Am I also here for the video? Yes. 😅
Thank you so much for being here!
@@JenPhelps you're one of the good ones Jen!!! Sidenote, I think the link for the Bubble one might be wrong
Thank you!! Just fixed it!
@@JenPhelps awesome!!! That's the one I want to try the most! ❤️
Same here 😊
I thought that your reviews were super-informative and in general really fantastic. However, I wish that companies that are using butyloctyl salicylate or other "sunscreen boosters" (aka unapproved chemical sunscreens) in their formulas would stop labeling them as being "mineral" since those are actually hybrids. And I do find that all the sunscreen boosters (BOS, tridecyl salicylate and ethyl ferulate) are just as irritating to my sensitive skin as the regular chemical sunscreens. I checked the ingredients for all of the products you reviewed and the following are the true "mineral only" products: Bubble Plus One; Live Tinted Hueguard SPF30; Saint Jane; Supergoop MIneral Mattescreen; First Aid Beauty; Cotz; Vanicream SPF30; Drunk Elephant; Neutrogena; Naked Sundays; Kora; Cocokind. Thanks for doing this project - you have given me some good ideas of which products I should try next! ❤
Agreed
Thank you for checking for the other "boosters". I didn't realize they existed either. I'm so glad my top 3 (Bubble, Live Tinted, and Saint Jane) are all in the clear!
The boosters irritate my skin too. They shouldn’t get to be called mineral. Love Bubble and Saint Jane.
I only found out about the booster issue about three months ago and since then have found some sunscreens that I have liked: The Outset (brand new), Lion Pose, Saint Jane and (for the body) Necessaire. I am looking forward to trying the Bubble Plus One and the Live Tinted next!
I haven't researched this, but I'd bet that "mineral" isn't a word with a legal definition in the US. So brands are free to use the word on labels and in advertising as they please. If you're sensitive to the boosters, your only option is to check ingredients labels zealously.
I love lab muffin beauty! Glad you referenced her channel! 😊
That was me that mentioned the hidden UV chemical filters in mineral sunscreens!!! ❤️You explained it so well!! 🙌It was such a shock to me! Chemical sunscreens from the US kept breaking me out and burning my eyes so I switched to all mineral but still kept having the same thing happen. I was like what the heck? So I was doing some research and that’s how I found out about hidden chemical filters! Lab Muffin is such a great resource!!! Like you said, I’m not someone who is against chemical sunscreens. But, I was avoiding certain ones because they break me out and burn my eyes and octisalate was one of those, so finding out butyloctyl salicylate was in all the “100% mineral” sunscreens that were breaking me out and irritating my eyes was such an eye opener! Always appreciate all your hard work you do for your videos!!! ❤❤❤
Up until this point, I have literally been avoiding sunscreen all together bcuz the side effects r SO unbearable! I jus figured ALL sunscreens , mineral or not were going to burn my eyes & break me out, but now I know what to look for!!! I'm so grateful for this video & the info! Tysm!
I bought the Bubble on a whim because my 7 year old kept saying she wanted to try anything Bubble. A lightbulb went off in my head! Try Bubble sunscreen! It was another guaranteed solution to ensure she wears sunscreen! She loved it and I tried it and loved it too! On our third tube already!
Thanks Jen for yet another amazing and informative video!!!!!❤
Oooh, this is good to know. That was one I was eyeing!
This series has been great. I did want to add to the information you gave in the introduction that for people that have had skin cancer, mineral formulas are thought to be advantageous over chemical. Also, people need to keep in mind the UV index for when they are looking for protection. Many weather apps have the info. A % difference of a large number is a big difference. Anything is better than less or nothing. Thanks Jen!
Absolutely, 1% can make a difference! 🥰 But I guess the point I was trying to make but didn't say, is that I would also rather see someone choose an SPF 30 if they like the texture and are more likely to wear it every day vs. buying an SPF 50 that they don't wear because it's too thick and it sits in a drawer. Some is better than none. 💞💞
Fabulous concise summary! REALLY appreciate you didn’t bury the winning formulas at the end. That you started with those… made me gladly watch the entire vid. Bravo, girl. You make the crowded field of mineral sunscreens less mysterious, more inviting. Take a victory lap… you earned it.
Jen,
if you didn't earn respect from me long ago, you certainly did NOW. Not saying you haven't, fyi. This is one of the reasons I love watching your videos because you do your best to keep us informed on beauty products whether its skin care, makeup, or haircare. Your videos are like "Infomercials" that play late at night. Thank you for being our guinea pig. You are certainly well-loved. Have a wonderful day.
I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful series of reviews on mineral sunscreen! You have saved us all SOOO much money. Great reviews, loved your candid assessment. Again, thank you!
As someone who for whatever reason can’t use chemical sunscreen (yes even Korean, they’re all like pepper spray to my eyes and make them water so badly they crack 🥴) I appreciate this so much!!!! Thank you for doing the investigative work for us! 😊❤
you explained SO well why people might want mineral sunscreens!! i kind of want a Short of you explaining it for people who just don't get it 🙂 i personally think it's important for people with allergies and preferences to have options in life - in food, makeup, skincare, medicine. helping people find options that might work for them or might be more accessible to them is just doing the Lord's work. you're the best 🥺
These clips were so great! I loved following along all month. 😄
I really enjoyed this series. I picked up a few of the sunscreens that seemed to work for you. Most were the thinner formulas…I decided to keep an old 1/4 tsp in the bathroom to see if my two finger method was close to the recommended amount and was SHOCKED to find I was applying about 1/2 of what I should have been applying. It was an eye opener. Thanks for such a detailed test of mineral sunscreens.
The two fingers of spf don’t always equal to 1/4 tsp. I did that too and found I was way off.
I enjoyed this series tremendously! I too have had skin cancer removed, along with family members. This was super helpful because I have been on the hunt for a great mineral sunscreen. This was so informative. You did an amazing job with this video. I cannot thank you enough!
I'm shocked and yet, not shocked that companies are able to add a chemical filter and still call it a 100% mineral formula. I've always wanted to love the Hero Force Shield sunscreen because Jessica Braun recommended it and it gave me such a bad reaction. Now I'm wondering if it's this ingredient because I don't usually have a problem with mineral SPF.
Yes it definitely is that ingredient. I can’t use the Hero spf either. It burned and itched my face so bad 😮. I’ve been so shocked nobody on CZcams has had a bad reaction to those sunscreens 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve been waiting to see if other people have problems with the Hero spfs
You’ll want to read the ingredient list on your spf you buy, and avoid that ingredient. I have to avoid it
Concerning BOS (Butyloctyl salicylate), I just read that ‘some argue that BOS shouldn’t be used to reduce the concentration of UVA absorbing filters like zinc oxide, as it can create UVB biased sunscreens that are dangerous for users’. A fam member’s military dr said chemical SPF’s may end up fatal for him bc his face looked as if acid hit it. I can not wait to share this video w/him + his wife. Thank you so much for ur in-depth research on that. I had the ‘Hero’ one in my cart for them but I’ll now pick a diff top 10 of urs :). Ur June reviews were so interesting… so fun to watch + it nicely gave us so much more if u 🥰.
Saint Jane's SPF is one of the best sunscreens I've ever used. Chef's kiss. I don't know why more people don't talk about it. Also, Agency Skincare has a Sheer tint mineral SPF that is wonderful with an SPF 50.
Thanks for doing this series Jen! Every year I look forward to Angie Hot & Flashy's video on mineral sunscreens but, even though she's closer in age to me, she has a very different skin type and skin tone than I. Like you, my skin tends to be dryer and I have a cool pink undertone. I know this was a ton of work but I hope you make this an annual set of shorts and summary video! ♥️
BS makes me instantly itchy and-found out the hard way with 8 weeks of a rash-once you have a reaction to something, subsequent exposures to that ingredient can have increasingly severe reaction. My dermatologist suggests always trying anything new on your arm for a few days first. I think we get used to seeing our favorite content creators try new products on their faces every day and we forget it can be risky. Thanks for taking it for the team!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!😊
This was made for me! Thanks, Jen!!! 💜
Thanks Jen, I really enjoyed this series,the shorts were well done
Appreciate the final round up with lots of good information.
Thank you for doing this series!
I have loved watching all June, I truly appreciate all time put in this for us. 💚💚🌻🌻💚💚. I shared th e shorts several times.
Thank you for this video! I watched all the shorts but it's nice to have a summary! Also good to know about the BS hiding in "all mineral" sunscreen so thank you for sharing that info as well!
I loved this series and watched every single short, often more than once! It is such great information, especially combined with this video, and I appreciate all of the hard work and the expense! Thanks Jen! 💕
Wow! This was just so very interesting. Thanks for sharing your final thoughts & your rankings. Thank you also for explaining & exposing the b.s. as I did not know about it.
I appreciate you immensely for being here for us !
You’re such a pro Jenn , you put together such awesome videos and do great research!
I loved this series!! And thank you for the round up!
Thank you very much for doing this series. It's been very informative. I have learned a great deal. If you decide to do another one on something, I'll be watching those too
Jen, this was great! Thank you so much for all your testing and purchasing, it helps so much.💚
I can't thank you enough for this video and all of the shorts you posted for each sunscreen. This was incredible detail without making my head spin. I feel more informed and really appreciate the fact that you took the time to put this together. Wonderful job, and thank you again! 😊
Thank you Jen.
Thiss video was a lot of work for you...muchly appreciated.
You are a very generous person.
Thank you so much! Will be referring back to this for sure. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you for this series! It was incredibly informative for me.
Im excited to see this review!
Thank you, Jen. This was very helpful and informative.
Jen, you should get an award for this video! So much good information, so much research, just wow! You rock, thank you!
Such a thorough and informative series...thank you!
So very helpful!!!! The reels and this final wrap up are excellent! Thank you for going to all of the hard work and expense for us!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So helpful, Jen. Thank you for doing this. I’m going to try the Bubble sunscreen!💕
Loved this series. I can only wear mineral and this helped so much!
Thank you Jen. You are the best! Thanks to you I purchased Bubble and absolutely love it. Thanks again for all of your hard work. ❤
Thank you for taking the time to do all of this testing and research! I’m subscribed to Michelle’s Lab Muffin channel and agree that her explanations for anything sunscreen and/or chemical are terrific.
Thank you for this video and esp for making the commitment to post a new sunscreen short every single day in June. I waited for them to come up every day to see what you tried next! I love my Korean sunscreens but enjoy having mineral options too, esp. if I can just run into a store and pick one up, and now I have a list of good options. Thanks again!
This was an amazing series and this roundup is so helpful, thank you ❤❤
VERY informative, Jen! You had a lot of great information and it was so helpful to see your ranking of mineral sunscreens. This should be a required video for everyone to see. You did a lot of work and it is greatly appreciated. I did watch some of your shorts just for the ones I was interested in. Thank you for putting this together for us.
I was waiting for the round up! I can only wear mineral sunscreen. Thanks for the deep dive Jen ❤ I learned a ton!
I really appreciate how much you invested in time & resources to make this excellent resource. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this review! I hadn’t heard of some of those brands. Glad you found out about the sunscreen boosters so that if they bother you, you’ll know why. There are a few other boosters as well, like Tridecyl salicylate and ethyl ferulate. Do you watch Lisa Petrison Beauty reviews? She has studied sunscreens too, and has started a nice list of mineral sunscreens that do not contain the boosters.❤😊
I’m so glad you did a wrap-up! I watched every short but it is really nice to get it all in one video.
Wowza this most excellent in its width and breadth of use, ingredients, and protection.
Jen the amount of work you put into your videos, but especially this one is incredible!. Thank you for doing this amount of work researching, plus the expense on a very important subject. You’ve quickly become one my favorite YTubers (I hate the influencer moniker) because of your level of dedication to your job. So thank you again. I’ll rewatch this when the Benadryl hasn’t hit so hard. 😂 You’re a gem!
Thank you for doing mineral sunscreens only!! June’s video series and shorts were exactly the perfect videos for me. I haven’t tried Korean sunscreens because every other (3 or so) Korean skincare items I have tried have definitely NOT worked for me. Thanks!
Thanks for the summary! I have very dry skin and am your skin twin so trust your recommendations!
Jen, thank you so much for doing this video! I watched a bunch of the shorts and was really looking forward to the roundup. You gave so much great information. You must have spent a LOT of time on all that research and I really appreciate it. I rarely make comments but this video is amazing. I really trust your opinions and I have loved all your videos. Thanks for sharing❣
Thank you such an in depth series and video! Extremely informative and helpful!! ❤
Thank you for all your research and sharing this information. It's so helpful. 😊
Such a lot of work went into this series! Thanks for all your hard work and the information.
Wow! I watched every short (most several times), and wondered if you would do a recap. Boy, was I surprised at this recap...so in depth. I LOVE how much info you give in your videos. You are like an investigative reporter! I truly learned a ton and now I know why some sunscreens burn my eyes and what to avoid, and the differences in SPF 30 vs. 50. TY, TY, TY so much!!! Appreciate you ❤
thank you for all of this hard work!
I love your level of research and investigation with this! I am an educational researcher so kudos to you! I can’t tolerate chemicals of any kind so for me this was the best sunscreen video I have seen this year!
I watched every short and enjoyed each one. I'm on my 2nd tube of Bubble. I also have the Saint Jane but haven't yet used it. I do plan on trying about 3 others. Sunscreen is so hard to wear when it's hot and humid. I hate the feel, but it's a necessity. Thank you for all of this.
This was a truly amazing and informative video and shorts series, thank you! Please keep this content up and test more clean beauty/makeup.😊
Hi Jen, you are my HERO! Thank you so so much for your diligence, dedication, professionalism, this whole month long project dedicated to sunscreens is so helpful & truly needed. Saving this one in my SKINCARE playlist to refer to when I need to re-up on these.
I totally agree on St. Jane's as a 10, I've been loving it since trying it in the last Sephora sunscreen samples kit. Looking forward to trying the Bubble Plus One & Hero one next. Bless you!! ❤
Huge undertaking. Thank you. Great to see how all applied and then critiqued. Appreciate this wrap-up video with all ratings listed; and on top of it all, the sunscreens with chemical boosters. Enormous amount of information. I’m ordering your 3 top ones to see which I like the best or to use for different reasons.
Thank you for all your hard work and research in this video!
Omggggg!! Best extensive research and review on the topic!!! Im so grateful to you Jen!
Thank you!!!
I was waiting for this video to buy/tried a new sunscreen. Thanks Jen!
Fantastically helpful Jen!!❤
I looove thiiis!! I watched all the shorts! Best series in a LONG TIME!
Excited to hear you like the bubble the best because I bought it at your recommendation a few weeks ago!
Thank you *so* much for your hard work! I’ve had my eye on the Bubble one - and this just confirms it! Looking forward to trying it out! ❤
Hi Jen, I enjoyed watching this video, and all of your shorts sunscreen rantings on each day of June , i found that some of the sunscreens ( high end ones) are sold here in Australia, Jen this series was great, I really appreciate all your hard work that you put into all your shorts ,the information that you provided for us in each short,as well in this video,thank you for everything. Love Katherine xoxo
This was an excellent series! Thank you!
Lab Muffin Science explains it best, concerning , spf 50 vs spf 30. One gets 1 & half times more UV coverage with the higher SPF. And that is if one applies it evenly & at the right amount. People tend to miss spots and don’t apply enough. To get the most UV coverage, the higher spf is the way to go.
This has to be the most comprehensive set of reviews I’ve seen on YT in a while! You really went so in depth and were actually critical! Really appreciate you reading my comments on your shorts and looking in the Butyloctyl salicylate in the various sunscreens. Especially appreciate that you called out which ones in each tier had this ingredient. Any chance you can indicate in your video description which ones had this ingredient with a sign or smth ? I wanted to screenshot for reference
I’m sooooooo happy you did this!!!! I had melanoma a couple years ago so sunscreen is VERY important to me too! I also have rosacea and zinc oxide is helpful for that too.
Wow! So Informative! Thanks Jen!
Wonderful video and so thorough thanks Jen!!
Thank you Jen, this was very helpful and informative. You really did a great job!!
Thank you so much Jen for such a wonderful detailed research on sunscreens. We appreciate all of the work that you did to put this all together. I enjoyed the series so much and I appreciate all that you do for us and I love your videos.❤💗💕💚💜🌹🌺💐
Bravo! This is probably one of the most well researched and well presented videos I’ve ever seen on sunscreen. I’m glad you took the time at the beginning of the video to explain everything. Very, very helpful.
I totally agree about the video!
Congratulations on such a successful series, Jen! So impressed (as always) and watching the shorts through the month was a lot of fun! Hope you’re enjoying the summer! Love from the Jersey Shore ☀️
Absolutely fantastic video! You touched on such an important topic and we all appreciate the deep dive you took! Many thanks!
Happy Fourth!!!💕💕
So appreciate the science info at the end.
I picked the Bubble as soon as you reviewed it, sounded exactly what I was looking for- and I can say I love it! Thank you Jen, very grateful for your incredible work!🙏💕
Thanks Jen for doing all the hard work on our behalf. I now will be trying out some of your 10/10. Again Thank You So Much.😊
Amazing work Jen! Thank you! I think some of this depended skin type!
Important video! Thanks for making it and sharing your knowledge ❤
Thank you for such a thorough evaluation of mineral sunscreens
I loved this series...watched every one!
Thank you Jen!!! I really appreciated you doing all the shorts. There are a fewcI may try. I loved tge CeraVe one when it first came out, but the tint has chaged and is now darker looking on me. I had heard the same from my derm. Stick to a 30 - 45 tops. Anything higher is a waste of money 💰 Have a wonderful 4th and long weekend.
Thank you sooooooooooo much for this video series.
Thank you for this video! I learned so much. As someone who is sensitive to chemicals on the skin ( many give me horrible migraines), I really appreciated all the information! Especially that last tip!! You really are amazing and so appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for your reviews. I learned a lot. You are so awesome!
Wow this was so informative and helpful. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful ❤ thanks!!
Thank you. Amazing short and an amazing video.
Thanks so much for doing all the hard work and research for us, Jen❣️It is truly appreciated ❣️💯👍🏼😊
Thanks for doing this, Jen. I have gotten away from using mineral sunscreens on my face but will now have to give some of your recommendations a try.
