With a product lineup that barely crosses the 30-item mark, every addition to MERIT’s collection is deliberate and intentional.
The Uniform, MERIT’s first 100% mineral sunscreen, is no exception. Starting today, you can shop MERIT’s The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 for $38 in 15 sheer shades.
The Uniform is formulated with 100% mineral non-nano zinc oxide, which offers broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection. It’s meant to be the first thing you reach for every morning, a base layer that not only protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays but also enhances it with a soft, blurred finish.
What sets The Uniform apart isn’t just what it will do, it’s also what it won’t do. It doesn’t clog pores, thanks to a clean formulation that’s non-comedogenic and free from oils, fragrances, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, and more harmful chemicals.
It also won’t leave behind a white cast, greasy residue, or pills (i.e. all that white flaking and balling up that can happen when you apply sunscreen and it doesn’t get absorbed into the skin evenly) — three of the most common complaints about mineral sunscreens.
In a clinical study conducted by MERIT, 100% of participants reported that the product felt weightless, blurred their skin, and evened out their complexion. Just as impressively, every single participant said it layered beautifully under makeup and was easy to reapply throughout the day. That kind of across-the-board approval is rare, especially in the sunscreen category.
You can choose from 15 flexible shades that the company says not only match a wide range of skin tones, but also offer enough pigment to balance out tone and texture and pair well with MERIT’s existing complexion products.
Whether you wear the tinted SPF alone or under makeup, particularly MERIT’s The Minimalist stick (my favorite forever and ever), the results — skin that looks like skin, just smoother, more even, and more radiant — should speak for themselves.
MERIT The Uniform tinted sunscreen reviews
The name “The Uniform” couldn’t be more fitting. It’s meant to be your daily go-to, the product you wear every single day without thinking twice. It’s the foundation of your skincare and makeup routine, designed to make getting ready feel effortless.
And based on early reviews, it’s already living up to that hype. One user, Damaris S., says she’s “worn it on no-makeup days and under full glam — it holds up either way."
Others have praised its lightweight application and glowy payoff. “I’m a tinted sunscreen girly through and through, and this one is everything!! It’s super lightweight and gives the prettiest dewy glow without feeling greasy or heavy,” MERIT customer, Caytlin says. “Bonus points for the packaging, sleek, stunning, and totally vanity-worthy,” she continues, if you needed any more convincing!
I’ve already ordered The Uniform in shade 30 (fair cool) to go with my go-to Bone shade of The Minimalist. I can’t wait to report back.
