What the gurus are saying

This purple sunscreen's red onion extract helps even out and blur skin tone discoloration, and the lightweight, moisturizing formula sits nicely on skin without a white cast. However, because it contains titanium dioxide, those with medium to deeper skin tones may want to patch test first, as they might see some white cast.

"This one is SPF 40, it is a chemical sunscreen, it is purple in appearance, [...] and it has lanto and red onion extract to help even out skin tone. It all works together to even out your skin tone, it helps blur the discoloration and evens out your skin tone."

"I ended up reaching out and we ended up working together to formulate this and it is the Purple Protector Sunscreen, which yes has red onion extract. When this finally came out there were a lot of questions about it because it is a very weird, strange product. It is a purple onion sunscreen and it did sell out multiple times. [...] One of the main questions is why onions and does it smell like onions. I'm so happy that this is fragrance-free."

"I have found in using it it's very lightweight, it doesn't leave a white cast, but it does have titanium dioxide in it so if you have a medium to deep skin tone you might get a bit of a white cast with it. It has avobenzone, homosalate, and octocrylene. It also has niacinamide which is going to be good for redness and dark spots, so if you have discoloration that you're looking to protect, improve upon, and camouflage, this would be a great option."

*BEST* Sunscreens For Combination Skin
"This particular sunscreen is their Purple Protector Sunscreen SPF 40. It is a really moisturizing formula with that comes out purple, so it's good for masking that discoloration. It has Ava benzone, homosalate, octinoxate, octocrylene, and titanium dioxide, so it's technically a hybrid sunscreen, but I don't get any white cast with this. I do think if you have a really deep skin tone you might see a white cast with this because of the titanium dioxide."
