I love the Paula’s Choice mineral sunscreen! Doesn’t have any cast and blends very easily. I’m also a fan of the Good Molecules sheer mineral sunscreen. Although it is a little thinner and shinier of a product, it’s relatively inexpensive. Good luck!

I'm still on the look out myself, but it seems a lot of the Korean mineral formulations have butyloctyl salicylate in them, which is a chemical filter that has been mentioned in this thread. (I am currently suffering from a bad case of dermatitis bc of this ingredient -- Good Molecules Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is the culprit.) I'm going to try SKIN 1004's Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light. Not a Korean reco but I really like Murad's mineral sunscreens, but they're pricy

I am super picky on sunscreens for this reason but I love Good Molecules mineral sunscreen. It looks white at first then seems to kind of absorb.
