I am searching for the best sunscreen for Black people. I need one that wont leave a white cast and can handle outdoor heat during sunrise.

According to NYT, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, these 2 are top-rated:

EltaMD UV Clear Tinted SPF 46
EltaMD UV Pure SPF 47

Which one should I go for? Would love your face.

Hello @Alexa Papi,

I am Afro-Latina (Dominican) and I found all tinted SPFs quite bad, as they left either a white cast on me, or a nude cast which was at least ten shades lighter than me.

I have used the EltaMD UV Pure SPF 47. It is very good.

Supergoop unseen sunscreen also doesn't leave a white cast, but it is a little pricey.

I play soccer outside in the sun in the afternoon and it is good for that. Not sure about sunrise.

Have a great day.

AJ
