**UPDATE** No White Cast Sunscreens (even on dark skin)

 UPDATE 

Since my opinion on sunscreen is limited to the few I've tried, I wanted to provide more sources of information. 

• A dermatologist did a little testing of her own. I love the method she used. Here's a link if you want to avoid YouTube and, of course, the YouTube video.
• There was a scandal about a certain sunscreen recently & an independent consumer product group out of Australian caught it. Listen, if anyone cares about sunscreen, it's our Aussie brothers & sisters! This is their ranking of some other sunscreens they tested. 
• EWG has their 2025 list of sunscreens. I have nothing against them & often use their resources, bit EWG is concerned about products from an environmental perspective.
• Huffpost took a look at whether or not differences between SPF factors matter.  (And do refer back that dermatologist's video...) This was interesting since I try to go for the highest SPF I can.
• BBC took a look at more common myths about sunscreen.
• Last & maybe most helpful, the Skin Cancer Foundation offers up tips for choosing a sunscreen.

When looking into these resources, I did notice variations in the "best of" lists. I am really liking the Hawaiian Tropic I mentioned below. I did get my hands on a sample of the SPF 70 & t's nice on my face which means I would only have to purchase one sunscreen instead of another for my body. I checked the price and it's affordable. It's also moisturizing without being greasy, and it absorbs quickly.

As a dark-skinned woman, I know the struggle of finding a sunscreen that does not leave me looking ashy. There are some sunscreens that I can balance out with foundation, but I rarely wear make up so... Here are some sunscreens I have used on that leave no white cast at all. (There is a link to INCIDecoder for each product if available.)

• Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Sunscreen Lotion SPF 60+ - Love this one so much that I was subscribed until recently. PROS: moisturizing, fragrance-free & water resistant. It's priced higher than some others & the lid gets messy and gunky after a while if you're not careful. NOTE: Surprised that this was so good after trying the brand's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 which does leave a white cast. INCI page
• Black Girl Face & Body Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - Tried this one and it is awesome. Not as moisturizing as the Neutrogena, but it is good to the skin. It's a good buy for (recently) under $10. If they come out with a higher SPF for a good price, I'm in.  (I can't find it on INCI; it may be too new to be in the database. I will have to submit the info.)
• Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Lotion Sunscreen SPF 70 - This is one I'm trying now. I know it doesn't leave a white cast because I have the SPF 30 that I have always used on my body. I am going to be trying the higher SPF for my face & body. The SPF 30 doesn't bother my face, but I will have to let you know when I try the 70. Pricing was a big factor in trying this to replace the Neutrogena. At around $9 for 8 ounces this is cheaper than the Black Girl and Neutrogena. INCI page
• La Roche Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 SPF50+ Fragrance-Free - If my pockets were deeper, this would be my favorite. My skin loved this when I found some on eBay. Unfortunately, I can't always find it on such a good sale. But, if you can find some, it's good. It is moisturizing and soaks in well. INCI page for all the Anthelios.

I would suggest Walmart's Equate Kids Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50, but unless they have changed, there is no expiration date on them. I used it a few years ago and it was great. I have not tried their Equate Ultra Light Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion for All Skin Tones, SPF 50, but may have take a look. One user provided photo proof of no white cast... It gets pretty good marks for ingredients on INCIDecoder. I will let you know if I pick some up. 

I know there are many others out there, it's just being able to hunt them down. I only included ones that I have tried myself.

Peace
