The Supergoop! (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 30 is a product that I shout about to all of my friends and family
If there’s one thing I’ve inherited from my dad’s Irish lineage, it’s the ability to catch sunburn on an overcast day through a window. As such, I’m religious in my head-to-toe SPF application for both sun safety and anti-ageing purposes. But there was one summer beauty dilemma I always struggled with and that was how to reapply SPF without undoing my makeup, or turning my hairline into a greasy mess.
Traditional sunscreen mists designed to be used over makeup often left me shiny, and scalp sprays always make me look like I’ve forgotten to wash my hair. But last year, I discovered a game-changer of an SPF product , and it’s my not-so-secret weapon to staying protected, and shine-free all summer long.
The Supergoop! (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 30 is a product that I shout about to all of my friends and family. Coming in at £30, people often initially think it’s a little pricey, but when they see it in action, come to the same conclusion as I have: that it’s worth every penny.
The 100% mineral powder is designed to allow users to reapply SPF anytime, anywhere. The translucent formula provides broad-spectrum defence against UVA and UVB rays, without leaving a greasy residue.
It comes in an innovative twist up packaging that reveals a fluffy complexion brush. After tilting the product to release the powder into the brush, it can then be tapped and swept across the face and onto hair partings for a protection top-up.

An innovative SPF30 powder designed to mattify and protect your skin.
The loose powder mattifies skin and acts as a setting powder for makeup, delivering a soft-focus finish, while on the hair, it also absorbs oil, having the complete opposite effect of most UV sprays. Instead of making my hair look greasy, it actually absorbs the excess oil, almost (but not quite) doubling as a dry shampoo.
What’s more is that it’s really on-the-go friendly – I rarely leave the house without it. It’s ideal for beach days, beer gardens and beyond. But be warned, whenever I crack it out of my bag, an orderly queue seems to form before me of friends who would also like an SPF top up.
Elsewhere, for those looking for a higher SPF factor, there’s the Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield from Colorescience. Available at Face The Future, it has SPF 50 and a range of shades, but a steeper price point for £50.
For a more budget-friendly option, the Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Protection Sunscreen Powder SPF 30 is available at Boots for £11.32. Vegan and lightly scented, it blends effective sun protection seamlessly into your beauty routine for a flawless finish, ensuring your skin remains ‘safe and beautiful’ in the sun.
I can only attest to the effectiveness of the Supergoop! formula though, and many shoppers appear to agree that it is a ‘must have’. Shoppers at LookFantastic and Cult Beauty have praised the product, with one commenting: “I think this one is the best one to re-apply your sun-care protection during the day. It is easy and invisible and fixes your make up good.”
Another said: “This resetting powder from supergoop is a product that I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s an spf 30, it’s mineral based and transparent. It is great at mattifying any shine and protects the skin at the same time. I love it and will purchase it again when I run out.”
“Perfect. Bought for my wedding day to help my make up last. Perfect for getting rid of shine,” wrote a third.
While the Supergoop! powder comes in four shades, some have found it tricky to find the right one for them, leaving more critical ratings. One person commented: “Great way to reapply. Only wished the coloured options were available,” while another wrote: “It’s a good product, it does mattify, and is very easy to use, but it’s way too light for my skintone and I don’t think I’m super tan.”
In contrast, a glowing review reads: “I’m obsessed with this powder. It’s perfect for in my bag and on the beach and on the go! I have super oily skin so it’s perfect even for the make up and no make up days top ups.”
Another said: “I love how versatile this product is – I can use it throughout the day to add SPF and tame any shiny spots, as well as dry shampoo and scalp protection. No more burn partings.”
“Really handy for popping a little on the scalp to prevent burning. A must-have for me,” added someone else.
I’ve found it to be a real godsend and even have one at home and one in my bag now. That means if I forget to apply before I leave the house, I’m never caught short and I’ve not burned my scalp since using it.
