Tatcha makes some of the most luxurious skincare in my cabinet, but when it comes to daily essentials, nothing is more important than sunscreen<\/a>. Mineral formulas<\/a> are usually my go-to (I\u2019m acne-prone and find they tend to break me out less than their chemical counterparts), and Tatcha\u2019s The Silk Sunscreen is among my latest favorites. <\/p>\n

My introduction to the brand\u2019s sunscreens came via the Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen SPF 35<\/a> \u2014\u00a0the one in the blue tube \u2014 which has a creamier, putty-like texture and chemical filters at play. I liked it, sure, but craved something lighter for year-round wear. Summer\u2019s just around the corner, and my oily complexion struggles with heavier formulas (although to be clear, I\u2019ll take a few zits over UV damage<\/a> any day).<\/p>\n

Enter, The Silk Sunscreen<\/a>. It reminds me of those from my favorite Japanese brands (Tatcha formulates several products in Japan, though this is not one of them), which are fluid-thin in consistency and absorb instantly. In addition to zinc oxide, the formula features silk extract (yes, really \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s naturally rich in amino acids), niacinamide (my go-to for pore-clarifying and brightening), and squalane for moisture and barrier support. (It recently got a packaging upgrade and now joins Tatcha\u2019s family of Silk Serum<\/a>, Silk Cream<\/a>, and Silk Canvas<\/a> primer. And while the formula itself hasn\u2019t changed, it\u2019s still a popular (if not a little divisive \u2014\u00a0more on that later) pick among high-end SPF.<\/p>\n

A common pain point with mineral sunscreens is that the filters (usually zinc or titanium oxide) often leave a chalky white cast<\/a>, especially on darker skin tones<\/a>. I have medium olive skin, and found that the Silk Sunscreen blended in impressively well without a trace. However, it doesn\u2019t work as seamlessly for everyone. Content creator and cosmetic chemist Esther Olu<\/a> posted a viral review showing the product leaving a ghostly pallor on her skin. (Tatcha, please make a darker tinted version!)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now for the big, expensive elephant in the room: this stuff is pricey \u2014 admittedly, too<\/em> pricey at $64 for 1.7 fluid ounces. Still, it\u2019s one of the most luxurious sunscreens I\u2019ve ever used, and I can\u2019t lie: I genuinely love it. If you\u2019re a Tatcha stan or have bougie taste in sunscreen, it\u2019s definitely worth trying or gifting. The texture and finish feel incredible, \u2014\u00a0soft and diffused with oil control \u2014\u00a0and it layers flawlessly under makeup. (My everyday routine is a sheer skin tint and cream blush, and this sunscreen helps both wear longer.) I legitimately look forward to using it every day, and it\u2019s like experts say: The best sunscreen is the one you\u2019ll actually want to wear.<\/p>\n
