If I could make a deal with God (pause for Kate Bush's angst), I'd for sure ask her to strike down most Supreme Court decisions since Citizens United. If you'd asked me a few years ago, though, I'd have requested a top-notch mineral sunscreen — but brands like Kinship have met the need, and today, its best-seller is on sale for Prime members.

The brand's Self Reflect SPF 32 Probiotic Moisturizing Sunscreen is an editor favorite for good reason. I've tried thousands of sunscreens over my time working in the beauty industry, and it's truly best-in-class. Despite it containing 22.4 percent non-nano zinc oxide, the moisturizing formula disappears into skin within seconds. Yet, it's still incredibly effective; coconut alkanes, aloe vera, shea butter, vitamin E, and jojoba oil make it luxuriously hydrating, red raspberry and turmeric oil add antioxidants, and licorice extract brightens.

The only downside is its normal $26 price tag, but for July 12 and 13 only, everything from the brand is 25 percent off with a Prime membership (two words: free trial). Editors like myself aren't the only ones impressed: A 43-year-old Credo reviewer called the white cast-free SPF blurring and moisturizing, and an Amazon shopper dubbed it the "perfect option" for mature skin.

Per a different customer in their 40s, it also double-times as a primer: It kept them from burns even while on vacation in The Bahamas, and their makeup stayed put through "sustained heat," splashes, and water slides (jealous). The option of an SPF 60 version is nice, too — not to mention a rarity in the mineral sunscreen world.

Just as exceptional is the lack of white cast, according to fans with medium tan skin who said it goes on "like a dream" and that the rose-scented version's phthalate-free fragrance is mild and appealing. Users with oily skin said it also makes their pores look smaller, and keeps shine at bay, and others rave about the softness it created without being tacky.

If you'd like to try Kinship's Self Reflect SPF 32 Probiotic Moisturizing Sunscreen, get it for $20 while it's on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
