Buttah Skin’s Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Blends With Your Melanin

Last Updated on November 12, 2022

This tinted mineral sunscreen combines nature and science to nourish your skin and leave a radiant glow.

Dorion Renaud founded Buttah after a long struggle to find great products for his skin. Particularly, when it comes to sunscreen, there weren’t many options formulated for melanin needs. As a result, he created Buttah Skin’s Tinted Mineral Facial Sunscreen for melanated complexions.

The fragrance-free sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection with 6% Zinc Oxide and 2.5% Titanium dioxide. Thus, the lightweight sunscreen deflects light rather than absorbs it. The high percentage of Zinc Oxide also provides you with a wide spectrum. It has a SPF of 30, which protects you from UVB and UVA radiation. For best results, apply the sunscreen fifteen minutes before sun exposure, then reapply after every two hours.

Dorion describes this sunscreen as ‘protection that blends with your melanin’ – and rightfully so.

One user says it does not leave a white cast on their skin or clothes. Also, as much as it’s a tinted mineral sunscreen, it does not change their skin color. They further share that they wore it in the hot Californian late-morning weather for a 35-minute run and it did not leave any suntan lines.

Buttah Skin’s Tinted Mineral Facial Sunscreen also doubles as a moisturizer for days you’d rather not pile on your skincare.

It contains nourishing ingredients like Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil and Charmomilla Recutita Flower Extract. The former replenishes the skin’s moisture and prevents water loss while the latter soothes your skin and lightens discoloration. Another important ingredient in the Buttah Skin sunscreen is the cucumber extract, which helps to repair any damage on your skin. It lubricates the skin to leave a soft and smooth finish.

The product has no chemicals, flavorings, or parabens that irritates. Its formula is ultra sheer and glides comfortably on all skin types, including sensitive. A reviewer shares that the sunscreen “feels fabulous” and is not ashy. They say, “It applies smoothly, blends well with foundation, and does not irritate the eyes.” The brand claims that it leaves a matte finish yet the skin will feel soft and moist.

Another user states that the water-based sunscreen blends in very well with other skincare products and under makeup.

It’s cast-free and doesn’t make their face look extra greasy. You can also wear it across all seasons.

Some Buttah Skin sunscreen users however have concerns that it pills. Pilling may be due to using a heavy oil-based moisturizer prior to applying your sunscreen, especially for those with oily skin. This inhibits the absorption of SPF, causing pilling.

So, avoid applying water-based and oil-based products simultaneously, as they dissociate on the skin, leading to pilling. If you have oily skin, be sure to wear lightweight water-based moisturizer underneath this sunscreen. You can also try exfoliation to eliminate the dead skin, dirt, and excess oil which helps sunscreens go on easily.

Buttah Skin also offers an option for skincare kits that allow you to pick products that work well together. You can browse their products to create the perfect base for your sunscreen. With an average of 4.5 star rating, we have no doubt you might just find your holy grail Buttah product.
