Mineral Face Sunscreen

So glad to have found this sunscreen that is acne safe, EWG certified, and has a matte finish on my skin. Acne safe: I have been using this on my face daily for 5 months without it triggering any breakouts. Matte finish: initially it has a very white cast and seems like it isn’t moist enough to rub in. But if I just pat and rub it in a little, it will blend into light skin with olive undertone, leaving a matte finish that doesn’t turn oily or look too moisturized during the day, even if I’m sweating.

The product has a great price point compared to other similar mineral sunscreens and is also free from most harmful toxins. Did feel a little more difficult to apply (as most mineral sunscreens do) but worked pretty well and came in a nice travel friendly size.

Does not prevent sunburn, hard to apply, white-cast, tacky. You have to apply and rub in little areas, and even still it does not run un easily. .I was covered in white cast/ tacky splotches. Strangely, the areas where I had no sunscreen, or less white-cast, is where I got burned the least, so I may have gotten burned more with the sunscreen!!!

I have papulopustular Rosacea and allergic contact dermatitis. I must wear sunscreen on my entire body on a daily basis. I appreciate that this product is truly fragrance free and doesn't contain any other Balsam of Peru allergens like Aloe and other plant derived oils, butters, tree products, and other plant/tree ingredients that are allergens for BoP allergy sufferers. This sunscreen leaves a very noticeable white cast, even if you rub it in for several minutes. I am very fair skinned and it is still very noticeable. It takes at least an hour to dry enough so that you can comfortably wear clothing. It never actually fully dries and skin will feel tacky through the entire day. I will say that I did not have any skin rashes or rosacea breakouts from this suncream and it actually was soothing on my ultra painful Rosacea face. However, it was very difficult to apply to my ultra painful face bc the cream is so thick and havy and requires extensive rubbing in. If I can't comfortably wear it on a daily basis and if it makes my pale face look white, then this is not the product for me. I'm so disappointed. It's so difficult to find products that are truly BoP free.

Works super well! I put a just a quarter sized amount on each of my arms when the UV index was 9, and spent an hour in direct sunlight and ended up with literally no sunburn at all. I will say it does leave a bit of a white cast, but I don’t mind that much for how well it works.

This is really nice mineral sunscreen (clean ingredients, unscented) but there's jsut no such thing as mineral sunscreen from a bottle that doesn't give a whitecast. Unless you're applying in pea size increments all over your body (who has time for that) it never fully spreads out from the spot you apply it to. I did however also purchase the Altitude stick which I'm loving! The nature of the stick allows you to easily spread a thin layer all over, that actually can be rubbed in for minimal white cast.

This definitely prevents sunburn. However, it's so thick that it stays white where you leave it and is very hard to spread. It sticks to your hands unless you wash them immediately after. I tried rubbing it in my hands first to make it easier to apply and that only made it worse. Everything just stuck to my hands. I can only use this when I am still home and have the option to wash hands after applying. I cannot use this while out at the beach to reapply - everything sticks to my hands after.

Light texture for a mineral screen - love how it primes skin

Finally!! A mineral sunscreen without hidden chemical sunscreens and acne causing ingredients. This is the only sunscreen lately that doesn't break me out. It is thick and it does have a bit of a white cast but it's worth it for the lack of break outs for me. It's also non greasy so that's a plus.

Fantastic and clean sunscreen. It does leave a slight white cast on your skin but it lasts a long time! My kids skin doesn’t react to it and there is not a harsh smell.

Great sunscreen and love the safe ingredients. It leaves a very heavy white cast and is hard to rub in. For how clean the ingredients are and it being Zinc Oxide, this is to be expected though. Overall a great product, I just wish it was a little easier to rub in.

It works but doesn’t absorb well and leaves a significant white cast. More than I expected after using some of their other sunscreen products.

Warning: I purchased the unscented version of this sunscreen, and my experience was very concerning. The product applied extremely unevenly and appeared to separate, leaving a blotchy finish. Almost immediately after applying it to my arms, chest, and face, I experienced an INTENSE BURNING sensation. I washed it off shortly afterward, but even 6 HOURS later, my skin was still burning. I'm very grateful I removed it quickly, and even more relieved that I did not apply it to my 17-month-old's skin as I had intended. Because this product is marketed as a "natural" and safe sunscreen, I hope the company TAKES THESE REVIEWS SERIOUSLY and INVESTIGATES whether there is a manufacturing or formulation issue causing the product to separate and trigger these types of skin reactions. Very disappointed in not being able to return this through amazon and waiting for their response.
