Good Inexpensive Sunscreen
I have only tried this once, but so far I like it. It’s not shiny like other sunscreens, it’s only zinc as the filter, and it does not cake or pill (huge plus). The cream version of this is awful for the face, but this one works well. I have fair skin that flushes red easily, so the slight white cast does not bother me. I actually prefer it because it helps cover the red better.

Easy effective daily SPF
I’ve used this year round as a daily SPF and really love this product. The feel is light and non-greasy, so it’s easy to wear daily alone, at the beach or under makeup. It’s a perfect price point and lasts a while - even with daily use. It doesn’t have any offensive fragrance and does not irritate my skin at all. It’s super light weight and I would continue to buy this!

Lightweight mineral SPF that blends in well and wo
I’ve been using this sunscreen for a few weeks and I really like how lightweight it feels on my skin. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy feeling. It does have a slight white cast at first, but it blends in after a minute. I haven’t noticed any breakouts, which is a big plus for me. Overall, it wears well under makeup and gives good everyday protection.

Favortie sunscreen!
Zinc only , no titanium!! (Yes! FINALLY!) super thin and lightweight, good under makeup. Not to white. Would love a few different shades of this in a tinted version. Doesn’t break me out, or flare up my super sensitive skin, DOESN’T burn my eyes, I get it pretty close to. Used it for my face and body in Mexico and the Caribbean, works perfectly and reef safe too!!!

Ewg gave this a rating of 2 which was good. so that made me happy. It did apply sheer enough with a faint white tone, but absorbed within a minute lightweight easy to rub in.
