Overview
['Beauty by Earth positions this as a mineral sunscreen serum made in the USA with organic and natural ingredients. Zinc oxide is the active UV filter, paired with hyaluronic acid for hydration and a ceramide-supporting formula, all delivered in a matte finish aimed at combination, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. It is vegan, reef safe, and free of octinoxate, oxybenzone, parabens, silicone, and sulfates.', 'The serum format sets it apart from heavier sunscreen creams, since it is designed to feel non-greasy and sit comfortably under makeup, which matters for anyone reapplying sunscreen during the day. The brand lists a long range of intended uses, including daily routine, beach days, sports, travel, high altitude, and under-makeup wear, suggesting it is meant as a flexible, everyday option rather than a single-purpose product.', 'With around 1,900 reviews and a 4.3 star average, the feedback is broadly positive, though not quite at the top tier seen from some higher-rated competitors. That still represents a meaningful volume of buyer experience to draw on when deciding if the matte, oil-control-oriented formula fits your skin.']

Performance notes
Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum mineral UV protection by physically reflecting UV rays, while hyaluronic acid works as a humectant that helps draw and hold moisture in the skin. The ceramide component is included to support the skin's barrier, which pairs logically with a matte finish aimed at reducing shine without stripping hydration, a combination that generally suits oily and sensitive skin looking for daily sun protection.
What buyers say
Roughly 1,900 reviews at a 4.3 star average reflects a large and generally satisfied buyer base, even if the rating sits a bit below the highest performers in the category. That volume of feedback gives a reasonably reliable picture of how the matte, oil-control formula performs across different users.

Frequently asked questions
Is this sunscreen good for oily skin?
Yes, it is specifically formulated with a matte finish and labeled for combination, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. The non-greasy texture is meant to control shine throughout the day, which is a common concern for oily skin types when choosing a daily facial sunscreen.
Is this sunscreen vegan and reef safe?
Yes, the listing describes it as vegan and reef safe, and it is free of octinoxate, oxybenzone, parabens, silicone, and sulfates. Those are the ingredients most commonly flagged in reef-safety discussions, so this formula is built to avoid them.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
The matte, non-greasy finish is specifically marketed as makeup-friendly, and under-makeup wear is listed among its recommended uses. Applying it as the last step of a morning routine before makeup is the intended use case.
