| I'm looking for the holy grail of sunscreens, if anyone can help?
Musts are: - Matte - Oil-free - Fragrance-free - Alcohol-free - Chemical-free (ie zinc oxide / titainium dioxide) Desirables: - No 'make-up' effect (or very lightly tinted) - Paraben-free Hey, I never said it would be easy 
The closest I can find are as follows, but I have no idea if they dry matte or not?

| EltaMD physical dries matte but has a horible white cast. It's slightly tinted but it doesn't help with the cast at all. They either didn't used micronized ZnO and TiO2 or the oil-free base doe not let the powders settle properly or creates agregates of particles instead of dispersing them, or they simply didn't homogenize the susncreen properly. | |
