Does anyone know of any foundations with chemical spf ( no zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) that are also frangrance free?

It seems all foundations with SPF are mineral or contain fragrance.

Im looking because I want to wear a Moisturizer with chemical SPF and they say you shouldn’t mix any mineral spf products with chemical SPF.

Thank you!! :)

    Most, if not all, foundations contain titanium dioxide — not as an SPF ingredient but as a white pigment. A lot of them will also use a mix of physical and chemical sunscreens, as I’ve found. (These are just what’s available through Sephora and Ulta.)

    • Rare Beauty’s tinted moisturizer: homosalate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide
    • Dior’s foundations that contain SPF (Forever Glow and Matte): octisalate and titanium dioxide
    • Estée Lauder Futurist Skin Tint: octinoxate, octisalate, and zinc oxide
    • Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • Clinique Even Better (regular): octinoxate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
    • Both Shiseido Synchro-Skin foundations: octinoxate, titanium dioxide
    • Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizers use only chemical sunscreens (avobenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, oxybenzone).
    • Shiseido Revitalessence uses just octinoxate.
    • Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue: ensulizole, octinoxate, octisalate, zinc oxide
    • La Mer The Soft Fluid: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • Too Faced Born This Way Healthy Glow: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
    • Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint: homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
    • Clinique Age Defense BB: octinoxate, octisalate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
    • L’Oréal Infallible Fresh Wear: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • L’Oréal Age Perfect Radiant Serum: homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, titanium dioxide
    • MAC Studio Fix Fluid: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • TULA Radiant Skin Brightening Serum Skin Tint: avobenzone and octisalate
    • Clinique Redness Solutions: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
    • Chanel Vitalumière Aqua: octinoxate and titanium dioxide
    • MAC Studio Waterweight: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide
    • e.l.f. Camo CC Cream: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide
    • Dermablend CC: homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene
    • Chanel CC Cream: octinoxate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide

    Also keep in mind that a lot of foundations, and even some skin tints, don’t contain SPF, and that layering SPFs on top of each other won’t increase your sun protection.

    As for fragrance free, anything from Clinique will definitely give you that. For others, you’ll have to go through the ingredients of the various products.

      Thank you so much! Good to know about titanium dioxide, thankfully so far the research shows zinc oxide is the problematic one.

      Looks like the TULA option is perfect for me! I never knew about this brand/option. Thank youuuu :)
