This replaces my prior top recommendation for a daily face sunscreen (Keys - Solar Rx Broad Spectrum Sunblock). It's a fantastic Zinc Oxide based sunscreen that I found to be entirely non-greasy and non-whitening. I frequently wear it both alone and with makeup and my face looks smooth and non-shiny, and it has a wonderful light citrus scent. The only downside that I can see is that there is a lot of packaging and it isn't recyclable.
The sunscreen has an environmental working group score of 1, with excellent UVA protection and good UVB protection.
Buy it on amazon (for $45 - eek).

Sanre Organic Skinfood - Supple Sunshine (Rosemary & Lavender Day Cream)
Buy!
I tend to hoard sunscreen, and as a result have about five different ones in my cabinet at any time, but this last winter this was the one I reached for over and over. This moisturizer is made with zinc oxide and has an SPF 30, but it doesn't make your face white. Ever. Not even for a second when you first put it on. And it works (though perhaps too well, I was just diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency and am now taking supplements)! Finally, it left my face awesomely smooth and clear, and was pleasant to put on.
It may be a little heavy for summer, but during the winter it was perfect for keeping my face well-hydrated and protected from the elements. It's also admittedly pricey, but I used this tiny jar daily for about four months before I ran out.
The sunscreen has an environmental working group score of 1! Good UVB protection, excellent UVA protection and sunscreen stability.
Available for purchase at Sanre's website.
