  • Mindy Kaling shared the convenient powder sunscreen she’s “obsessed” with.

  • She relied on the Supergoop! Resetting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 to keep her skin protected during a recent trip to Disneyland.

  • “Great sun protection and also shine absorber,” she wrote on Instagram. “No notes.”


Let’s be honest—for most of us, reapplying sunscreen can feel like a chore. The first rub down is no big deal, but remembering to lather up again while having fun in the sun can be kind of a buzzkill, which is why Mindy Kaling keeps a special sunscreen powder on-hand to make the job quick, easy, and goop-free.

The Never Have I Ever creator shared the favorite in a recent Instagram Live, per People. She said the Supergoop! Resetting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 kept her skin safe (and shine-free!) on her family’s recent trip to Disneyland. And if a sunscreen earns the amusement park seal of approval, it’s guaranteed to fit the bill anywhere else.

“This was a major @disneyland,” the mom of two wrote. “Great sun protection and also shine absorber. Obsessed. No notes. Highly rec for brown friends.”

The 100% mineral sunscreen formula is packaged in a convenient, travel-friendly tube with a kabuki brush applicator that, with just a quick twist, releases pore-blurring pigments that are easily swept over the skin without the need for a mirror. It’s available in four shades, and also contains ceramides and olive glycerides to help seal in moisture and avoid a heavy or cakey look. And, like any good setting powder, it maintains the freshness of makeup applied underneath, helping it to withstand sweat, heat, and in Kaling’s case, harsh roller coaster winds.

Reviewers love the innovative SPF hybrid, too. “I love this product. I have very oily skin so being able to powder over make-up with[out] smearing and without extra shine is fantastic,” one Sephora shopper wrote. “Works great for a mid-day touch-up,” another added. “Really nice powder. Controls shine and leaves your skin a nice texture without over-drying it,” another raved.

As Supergoop! notes in its product instructions, the Resetting Powder’s purpose is in its name—it’s to be used for sunscreen and makeup touch-ups, not the main source of sun protection. The brand recommends first applying a cream mineral sunscreen underneath makeup, and then topping it off and reapplying with the powder for prolonged SPF strength.
