Merit Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF45 Review Shade 22 24
Summer is approaching, and I love to use tinted sunscreen for the connivence. Merit’s Tinted Mineral Sunscreen – The Uniform™ Broad Spectrum SPF 45 is garnering attention for its seamless blend of skincare and makeup, offering a minimalist approach to daily sun protection with a touch of coverage.
What is The Uniform
A mineral sunscreen that provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and a sheer tint that blends in with a light-as-air finish. It’s a sunscreen so perfect, you’ll actually want to wear it every day.
What it does
- Lightweight, buildable formula blends effortlessly into the skin with zero white cast.
- Provides a sheer tint with a natural skin finish that’s never greasy or cakey.
- 100% mineral zinc oxide active provides broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection
- Fine natural powders to help smooth and blur the look of skin
- Lightweight emollients provide a soft, velvety finish
- Proprietary pigment dispersion technology allows for blendable, even coverage
- Non-comedogenic, oil-free, and made without silicones.
- Dermatologist-tested
Key ingredients:
- Non-nano zinc oxide – for broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection
- Fine natural powders – to help smooth and blur the look of skin
- Lightweight emollients – for a soft, velvety finish
- Proprietary pigment dispersion technology – for blendable, even coverage
Shade 22 (light neutral cool) and 24 (light warm)
The uniform carries more than 20 shades and each shade goes well with the minimalist stick really well. So for shade 22 is recommended for people using the minimalist stick in shade Oak and Bisque, and for shade 24 is recommended for people using the minimalist stick in shade Ecru and Ochre. Here are some of the swatches I tried on during the day.

Merit Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Pros
- Lightweight Feel: Users report it feels “light as air” on the skin, making it comfortable for all-day wear.
- Natural Coverage: Provides light to medium coverage that evens out skin tone without masking natural features.
- No White Cast: Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, it avoids the typical white residue associated with mineral sunscreens.
- Skin-Friendly: Suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, thanks to its clean formulation.
- Ease of Application: Applies smoothly with fingers, eliminating the need for additional tools.
Merit Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Cons
- Limited Coverage: May not suffice for those seeking full coverage; additional concealer might be necessary for blemishes or under-eye areas.
- Potential for Dryness: Some users with dry skin noted the need for extra moisturization to prevent flakiness.
- Oil Control: Individuals with oily T-zones may require blotting or setting powder to maintain a matte finish.
- Price Point: At $38, it sits at a mid-range price, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious consumers
Application Tips
- Layering: For optimal sun protection, consider applying a dedicated SPF underneath, as achieving the full SPF rating requires a generous amount of product.
- Pairing: Combines well with Merit’s Great Skin Serum and Minimalist Complexion Stick for enhanced coverage and hydration.
- Reapplication: Designed for easy touch-ups throughout the day without caking or pilling.(The Guardian, The Daily Beast)
