This is the rating scale I used based on the amount of harmful ingredients in each product.
Here's what I found:
1| Juice Beauty - Tinted Moisturizer with 30 SPF (4 Shades)
Safety Rating - 1
Performance - This moisturizer worked well and I was able to match the colors well. What I did not like about it was that it was oil free. I am not a fan of oil free because it dries your skin out. This causes your body to overcompensate by creating more oils and breakouts occur. I did get a breakout after 7 days.
Cost - $29
2| Beautycounter - Dew Skin Moisturizing Coverage SPF 20 (5 shades)
Safety Rating - 1
Performance - This moisturizer is safe and light. I love the way it covers, lasts and makes it look like you have nothing on at all.
Cost - $42
3| Aveeno Positively Radiant 30 SPF
Safety Rating - 10 - I was SHOCKED at this rating!
Performance - This tinted moisturizer covered nicely but he scent was a bit strong. I found a bit of streak after some time in the sun.
Cost - $14
4| Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer
Safety Rating - 9 - AGAIN... WOW!
Performance - This tinted moisturizer also had some nice coverage but a bit of a strong scent. I'm not sure why your skin moisturizer has to have "fragrance".... it ads so many unnecessary ingredients to your product.
Cost - $15
5| Physicians Formula
Safety Rating - 3
Performance - I found Physicians Formula to Cover Nicely but it didn't last on a hot day.
Cost - $17
Bottom line... you get what you pay for. I find that the higher end, higher cost products last longer because you don't need as much.
Tell me what you think! Do you use any of these brands or other? I can rate them for you!
