Approved by EWG environmental working group. if you're not familiar with this group please check them out! This product is Nurse Approved! EWG are Powerhouse in alerting the government and consumers of dangerous chemicals. The European Union has banned many chemicals that are still used in the United States that are dangerous for human consumption. They also have an app where you could look up any product and it tells you on a scale the chemical exposures you may experience. Who wants to expose themselves and their family more dangerous chemicals? Remember the zinc sunscreen in the 80s and the life guards with the white noses? This sunscreen goes on thick and because of the zinc content does not rub in very easily and stays very white on the skin. I just use a few drops of water to rub it into the skin a little better so I'm not Ghostly white. I've used it four times this summer so far with hours of sun exposure paddleboarding and have not experienced any sun burns. Tanning nicely. It's expensive for the size and the amount of suntan lotion that you get. Knowing that I'm not exposing myself to additional harmful chemicals is worth it for me!

Many chemically based sunscreens are toxic to coral reefs and fish. This is a mineral based sunscreen, so it is safe to wear around a reef when diving or snorkeling, and is probably much safer for humans. I burn easily and apply 50 spf at home in VT while gardening, very generously and often and still have quite a tan by the end of the summer. I used this 30 spf so I did not contribute to reef and fish death. This product stays on and protects better than spray sunblock. It has no odor. It is not at all greasy and washes off pretty well with soap. It is easy to reapply even on whey skin. It does rub off on clothes and bathing suits and leaves you a bit white, but that lets you know if you missed a spot. I like it enough that I am switching to using it at home for gardening, when I wear old cloths and dont care what it looks like. I would not wear it to a party! Worth the higher price

This is a great sunscreen in that it actually protects you and is truly waterproof. I wore it kayaking in Mexico where the sun is strong. I never burned. The downside is that it leaves you white and pasty looking while wearing it. But if you don’t mind that, you can feel confident in it’s protection.

The product tube looks small, and it can be hard to rub the product in without leaving a white cast. I hated it at first, but after seven days in Mexico my fair skin family is sunburn free. This stuff works! We are pale bordering glow in the dark white, and this protected us completely. We were outside about 9-11 hours a day without a burn in site. The crazy part is we still have sunblock left in the tube. A little goes a long way. I did notice though if you get it on clothing it leaves a white mark till laundered. Stuff is amazing.

I referee soccer, so I need a really good sunscreen for my face, neck, lower arms, and the front and back of my knees; everything else is covered up. I read about this sunscreen on a list of super environmentally friendly sunscreen products and thought I would give it a whirl. It's adequately priced for a mineral-based product. It also protects well; I had it on in full sun for about 5 hours last weekend, and while I got more tanned, I did not get burned. That's the good part. The bad part is that I looked like Casper the Friendly Ghost Ref. This stuff goes on white and stays white. I think if I was on a beach, I wouldn't mind so much. But being out and around people, yeah, it was a little much. It looks like I had sunscreen on that I just hadn't rubbed all the way in, but there was no amount of rubbing that would have made this stuff absorb and more/faster. Maybe I used too much and that was the issue. Regardless, it made me look pale, even after hours of sweating. If you're okay with that, this is a great product. If you are looking for sunscreen that can't be seen, look somewhere else. I'll give this another shot and use less next time to see if that makes a difference. As it is, however, this will not be the first bottle for which I reach.

I dont even know where to start with this stuff. Don't waste your money. I bought all 3 reef safe types to take to the Caribbean... and all three had the same result! The sunblock has a white cast and is super greasy. It got all over our rental car and stained, and ruined our swim suits. There are several other brands that dont leave a white cast and won't ruin your swimsuits! Even with reapplication we burned.

Ghostly white and does not rub in. It gets all over your clothes and does not wash off of them in water; not to mention it also smells bad. For thirty five dollars I expected a lot more. I’m trying to be eco friendly, but this product needs to come a long ways before I would consider using it again. There are much better alternatives out there.

Ok

Stayed white on skin even when applied a little at a time. Becomes even more visible after getting wet. Suits the purpose as a sunscreen

Reef friendly a little goes along away

good product and price
