****Updated 6/7/15: ****Follow up post: I really don't understand why people are complaining about the texture and thickness of the sunscreen. It may be slightly thicker than normal sunscreens but not by much. We've been using this for two years now and have gone through maybe 15-20 bottles and that's in the Seattle area, not in a high heat/sun area. Regarding size - I have contacted the company and they do NOT offer a larger size. Although I have found they make this in a clear spray now - although have not yet checked the chemical safety on the web. Have used this for the last couple years and many times at the beach since my review and it's an amazing sunscreen. Our "go-to" sunscreen now - and we go through a ton of it. No burns when using this even on very fair and sensitive skin. Really great product. Still wish they made a much larger size - would be willing to pay for a large pump size. Amazon has the best price and availability for this sunscreen by far - difficult to find in stores and when you do it's much more expensive.
Overall this is a pretty good product for multiple reasons:
it's a mineral/physical sunscreen (not chemical sunscreen)
fragrance free (therefore phthalate free) and good for sensitive skin
leaves only a very slight white cast so better than most
doesn't feel too drying on skin
water resistant
reef friendly
cheap
The only slight negative is regarding ease of rubbing in. While it's not as thick and pasty and hard to rub in as many others that are in this affordable range, it's also not quite as smooth and easy to apply as the more elegant formulations you get from the more expensive brands.
I docked this one star is because it came in an all green tube (old packaging) instead of the green, yellow and white tube in picture shown. It also expires in Nov '21 and I purchased in Apr '21 so it's a short window to use up. PLUS it is not returnable according to Amazon reps but that was not shown anywhere on the listing. I would have docked it 2 stars except Amazon gave me a credit for it anyway. So beware of these facts before purchasing!
FYI, for just a little more money I prefer Babo Botanicals Clear Zinc Sunscreen Lotion, Fragrance Free.
Top reviews from other countries
L'unico difetto è che ho ricevuto la vecchia edizione del packaging e non la nuova delle foto ma onestamente nonj è stato un problema e sono più che soddisfatta.
Assuming that my skin type is combination and also prone to acne, I really loved this product. Even though it is a mineral sunscreen, it applies decently even under makeup and does not dry or irritate the skin. I noticed a general improvement also about the production of sebum as well as the reduction of pimples and imperfections (note: the product does not advertise these effects in particular but personally this is what I found).
The only flaw is that I received the old edition of the packaging and not the new one in the photoes but honestly it wasn't a problem and I am more than satisfied.
If you apply little bits at a time to your face and massage it in...wait a bit..repeat....you can actually use it on your face without getting that white look.
I only use this now whether at work or running around outside.
Very good.
Tiene buena resistencia al agua, aunque si es necesario reaplicarlo. Sería perfecto si tuviera un FPS de 50 pero es muy buen producto
