TO SERVE AND PROTECT

Forget what you know about the chalky finish of physical sunblock. Thanks to the inclusion of natural mica, The Perfect Sunscreen SPF 30 ($45), from Toronto-based Consonant Skincare, leaves a sheer, non-greasy tint (and lives up to its modest name). Protection comes via a blend of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to deflect UVA rays (the ones to blame for your wrinkles) and UVB rays (the ones to blame for your sunburn), and skin is kept happy with friendly ingredients such as aloe vera and grape-seed and rice-bran oils.
