We pay a lot of attention to the topic of sun protection for the skin. In order to have healthy skin in the future, we need to protect it from the UV rays that affect us. The way we take care of our skin today, we will see the same result in a few years. We present to you the top ten SPF creams, which are not only your favorites, but also worthy of attention.
Creams with SPF for the face
COLORESCIENCE SUNFORGETTABLE® MINERAL SKINCARE SUNSCREEN FLEX SPF 50, 55 ML
Color: MEDIUM, provides medium camouflage.
COLORESCIENCE SUNFORGETTABLE® MINERAL SUN PROTECTION WITH SHADE (MATTE) SPF 50, 55 ML
Color: Light coverage, multiple layers can be applied for stronger coverage.
COLORESCIENCE SUNFORGETTABLE® MINERAL SUN PROTECTION (CLASSIC) (SPF 50), 55 ML.
Color: the product has a soft creamy shade, thanks to which it adapts perfectly to the natural color of the face.
The composition of these three colorescience products is identical. The difference between them is the color. So let's discuss the composition.
Protection: UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution and infrared protection (SPF 50).Composition : looking at the composition of the product, I am very pleased with the highly moisturizing and moisture-retaining ingredients.
The only ingredient to stick to is phenoxyethanol. It is a preservative that is irritating, can cause contact dermatitis, and is toxic if swallowed or inhaled.
We have drawn attention to the following ingredients, which contribute to the strong moisturizing, antioxidant effect of the skin:
- Tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract, also known as snow mushroom, is a plant extract that is a rich source of polysaccharides that helps moisturize the skin by binding moisture to its surface.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa fruit protects the skin from drying out and increases skin moisture. It also helps maintain cell vitality and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
- Disodium lauriminodipropionate tocopheryl phosphate (DLTP) is used for scar treatment, rosacea, as well as a moisturizer, sun protection component and anti-aging. Thanks to this ingredient, the product can be safely used by people with couperose skin.
- Dimethylmethoxychromanol is a synthetic molecule whose structure is similar to α-tocopherol (vitamin E) and acts as an extremely strong antioxidant.
SUNTIQUE "I'M SAFE" SUN PROTECTION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN SPF 50, 50 ML
Protection: SPF35+/PA++++. PA++++ = Extra high UVA protection.
Color: colorless.
Composition: We like this cream because the composition is quite broad, so it can solve many skin problems or nourish the skin. It contains a completely safe mineral filter - titanium dioxide.
- For skin hydration - betaine, a humectant that helps skin stay hydrated, plump and youthful. Betaine acts as a gentle humectant to help the skin gain and retain moisture.
- For skin antioxidant protection - trehalose, protects the skin from free radical damage caused by UV rays and pollution.
- For skin inflammation, redness - centella asiatica extract, which can help fight inflammation, reduce acne and skin redness.
- For skin pigmentation - squalane. Because squalane is a powerful antioxidant, it can also improve skin tone by lightening dark skin spots.
The composition does not contain fragrances, dyes or other strong substances that could cause skin irritation.
Suitable for: all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Color: colorless
- Moisturizing substance in the composition - gluconolactone.
- The sodium chloride in the composition has a drying effect, but in this product it is at the end of the composition, so you will probably not feel the drying effect.
- The zinc oxide in the composition, a mineral filter, is not in nano particles, which is highly commendable. We recommend avoiding nanoparticles containing agents due to their ability to enter the bloodstream.
Protection : SPF30, water and sweat resistant.
Color: colorless.
Composition: It is very important that the sunscreen contains substances that are antioxidants and protect the skin from other external environmental factors (wind, etc.)
- It is shea butter that protects the skin, soothes the skin and is also rich in antioxidants.
- Although the composition includes bisabolol, which soothes the skin, we advise sensitive skin to test this cream on a small area of the skin first, as the real lavender extract in the composition can cause negative skin reactions.
- For skin moisture, we find cocoa seed butter and hyaluronic acid, which are especially necessary for dry skin.
- Although it contains sunflower seed oil and sage oil, this does not mean that this cream is greasy. These oils act as strong antioxidants and restore the skin barrier. These oils do not add fat to the cream.
- The protective filter is zinc oxide, not nano particles.
Suitable for : all skin types. Attention should be paid to owners of sensitive skin, if the cream does not cause skin reactions, it can be safely used. Especially suitable for people who tend to sweat more, because the cream is sweat-resistant.
Color: colorless

Creams with SPF for face and body
Protection: SPF30
Color: colorless
Composition: The main sun protection filter is zinc oxide. This cream will definitely not leave white skin on the skin due to the presence of polyhydroxystearic acid.
It is a dispersant or dispersing agent used in inorganic (Titanium Dioxide/Zinc Oxide based) sunscreens or make-up to distribute pigments nicely and evenly on the skin. It is also said to increase the UV absorption of the sunscreen formula and reduce the annoying white cast that inorganic sunscreens leave behind.
Sunflower oil, sweet almond oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin. After using the cream, the skin has a healthy shine, is soft and moisturized.
Suitable for : children, babies, pregnant women. For oily and mixed skin, the cream may look too greasy on the face, due to the sebum secreted by the skin itself.

The cream is very pleasant to the skin of the body, thanks to sesame seeds, jojoba seed oil, which regenerates dry skin. You get not only protection from the sun, but also nourishment of the skin.
Castor oil is another dual action oil. It moisturizes the skin, but also has an occlusive effect, which means that it prevents the skin's moisture from evaporating.
This cream does not contain components that could cause negative skin reactions.
Suitable for use: for the body - for all skin types. For the face, we think it is more suitable for normal, dry, sensitive skin.
