Merit Is Dropping a Tinted Sunscreen in 15 Shades; and It’s About to Be Your New No-Makeup Makeup MVP
Just in time for hot girl summer (or honestly, SPF-every-day season), Merit is launching its first-ever tinted sunscreen, and spoiler alert: it’s already giving skin goals.
Launching May 22, The Uniform™ Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 is a dreamy skin-protecting, tone-evening multitasker that’s here to simplify your morning routine. It’s giving coverage, it’s giving glow, it’s giving “I woke up like this.”
The Tea on “The Uniform”
Merit calls it “The Uniform” because it’s meant to be your everyday base—like the makeup version of your favorite white tee. And yes, it goes with everything.
Here’s why we’re obsessed already:
- 15 flexible shades designed to stretch across a range of skin tones
- 100% mineral SPF 45 (hello, zinc oxide!) with no white cast in sight
- Blurring, light-to-medium coverage for that soft-focus skin vibe
- No silicones, no oils, no drama—just skin-friendly ingredients that play nice with sensitive types
And because it’s Merit, it’s made to work seamlessly with the brand’s other cult-faves, like The Minimalist complexion stick and the dewy dream that is Great Skin serum.
What’s It Like IRL?
Testers (and the Byrdie team) are already singing its praises, calling it smooth, breathable, and shockingly even in coverage for a mineral SPF. And it didn’t happen overnight—Merit reportedly went through 50 (!!) versions to get it just right. Talk about dedication.
