Review: Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen and Primer

My dermatologist recommends wearing at least SPF 30 daily. It may seem easy to get this from a foundation with SPF, but what if you're allergic to common sunscreens, such as titanium dioxide? Or perhaps your beloved foundation doesn't come with SPF. Consider the Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen and Primer, which allows you to prime, moisturize, and add sunscreen in one easy step.

Pros:
  • Gentle ingredients
  • Light, non-greasy finish
  • 3-in-1: moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer
  • Pleasant citrus scent
  • Non-tinted
  • Vegan and gluten-free
Cons:
  • Can leave a slight white finish if you apply too much
Summary:
This 3-in-1 product is very moisturizing and also quite gentle, rating a low 1 on the EWG Skin Deep database. It's also a vegan and gluten-free formula, which is a plus. (Note: It is not produced in a gluten-free facility.) As a primer, I found that it helped with powder foundations, but didn't provide all-day wear; it was more 6-8 hours of wear. Depending on your foundation, this could be longer or shorter. Due to the moisture-rich formula of this product, I recommend using it with drier foundations (powders or possible cream to powders). Worn on its own, it left a slight sheen on my combination skin, so a sheer finishing powder would also pair well. At $45, this 3-in-1 is fairly expensive, but the value is pretty good, considering how you'd have to layer other products to get a similar performance. I love how the company also offer sample packets so you can try it out before making the investment in a full size. If you're looking for a convenient moisturizing primer with sunscreen, this is a nice, gentle option.
