That isn't full of chemicals! I'm 53 with sensitive, combination skin that definitely leads more toward the dry side. I love Devita but unfortunately it broke me out.
I'm looking for options that hopefully won't break the bank but I am open to all suggestions.Aren't all sunscreens full of chemicals?
No, not all of them. Some are made with physical (mineral) sunscreen ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Zinc oxide & titanium oxide are chemicals, BTW.

PTRoth makes a chemical free one that is awesome, and I love ELTA MD.

I like the ELTAMD, Josie Maran and Tarte.
PTR's is also awesome as mentioned above.

Been using CeraVe AM Moisturizer w/SPF 30. Bonus for me has been firming overall, but have noticed better jawline firmness (this contains ceramides so attributing firming to that).
$2 off coupon on website.
Don't wear foundation, so can't comment on that.

Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen SPF 50 Tinted Face Mineral Lotion, 3 Fl Oz - $13
I've been dying to try this sunscreen but from what I've read, it sounds like it's just like an Ulta brand one I tried. I can't find the Australian Gold one locally and I don't want to order it online (since I have other sunscreens to go through first) but I wish I knew someone who had tried the Ulta one and could offer a comparison. Does this one dry to a matte, almost rubber-like layer that stays put and is difficult to remove at night? The Ulta one is like that but I do a double cleanse and the oil takes it off nicely.

For me the Australian Gold was not rubbery feeling on my skin. To me it has a powdery feel to it. It does dry matte and I find it somewhat difficult to wash off. But that's a good thing if you're sweaty or in water. I didn't know Ulta made one like this. What is the name of it? @Texasmouse
ETA: I think if you use a powder foundation over top of this sunscreen then your skin may feel a little dry.

It's this one. It's hard to explain the feel of it. It LOOKS powdery but the feeling on the skin is what I can best describe as rubber-like. If you try this one, please let me know what you think. (It's also reasonably priced. $9.99 for 2oz.)

The Australian Gold is fragrance-free which is a must for me. I just looked at the Ulta sunscreen and it has fragrance so I won't be trying it. Thank you for telling me about though. @Texasmouse

You're welcome! I didn't realize it had fragrance in it. I'm going to try the Australian Gold one probably next summer, since what I've been reading about it is that it can be a little drying. I'll be using more moisturizing sunscreens with winter coming on. Thanks for your recommendation!
