Sunblock Sunscreen - Scented

Got this for the grandchildren on a beach vacation last summer. It is free of harmful chemicals and works very well to protect the little ones skin from the sun.

It took a little bit of time for me to review this sunscreen. Initially, i can say I did not love it. The feel is different than any other sunscreen I have tried, and I did not particularly like the smell. The feel to me is more like putting on a layer, instead of it completely absorbing into the skin like most ore sunscreens. I have been using it now for over a month, typically when I run or swim in the San Diego sun, or have to spend a long day at a swim meet (I am a part-time swim coach). I have gotten used to the smell which reminds me of Palmers Cocoa Butter. And I absolutely LOVE that this product is natural and does indeed work to protect my skin. I am not an 'everyday sunscreen fanatic' by any means, even though I probably should be due to the amount of time I spend outside in the California sun. I am trying to use it more often and avoid looking like my leather couch. I am very pleased and even purchased a second bottle for my daughter.

I just bought my second bottle of 3rd Rock Sunblock this summer. It really works - using it, I didn't get sunburned at daylong summer swim meets in Houston! It stays put (out of my eyes and mouth) for running and cycling. It doesn't make my allergic skin red or itchy. It has a subtle herbal fragrance that doesn't leave me gasping for an inhaler. It isn't sticky. It washes off with soap and water. The only drawback I have found is that you need to give it a minute (probably less than a minute...) to warm on your skin for the whitish cast to disappear. So, you really do need to put it on before you play in the sun or risk looking a bit silly for a minute. This is a great product!

Don't really care for it. The smell is hard to get past and the fact that your skin is greasy and tacky feeling forever afterward was a total disappointment. I rubbed and rubbed to get my skin to look skin color instead of white, which took forever. I put it on and then went outside to do some yard work. Afterward, I felt like a dirtball because all of the dust and dirt just stuck to me. This isn't a product to be used by active people unless you're spending the day lounging at the beach.

Works great...hours of coverage in the extreme Florida heat during cycling! It feels healthy on your skin. However the scent wasn't nice after sweating...smelled like the odor of tanning bed sun screen.

I don’t like the fragrance . I hate most fragrances anyway. I use Zinc Oxide cream instead. Really awful how sooo many companies add fragrance ( & usually a lot!) & how many people wear them.

I watched an interview with the company CEO. I feel this is the safest sunscreen available to keep my skin and internal body safe from contaminants

I thought 3rd Rock Sunblock did a good job a sun protection and had much safer ingredients but it was difficult to apply requiring me to spend several minutes to rub it in and yet it still left a milky film on my skin. It may be a good choice for those with a lighter skin complexion but wasn't the best choice for me.

Being fairly new to the ethical world, I wanted to ditch my old sunblocks for something that was better for the planet, better for me and more natural. This seemed like a good, if VERY expensive, choice. Since my early 20s, I have worn a sunblock on my face to help prevent premature ageing which was to be the intended use for this. However, the sunblock is so thick and pasty as to be completely unusable if you want to look anything less than ghost-like. Rubbing on the face is not pleasant as the cream is almost stiff, so it represents a bit of a battle. It does not absorb into the skin at all and spends all day long sitting on the surface, making a wonderfully sticky surface for all manner of things to attach themselves to. Even by the end of the day, it was still very evident. I don't want this review to be entirely negative as I am sure, in many ways, it is a good product. It meets the criteria of being natural, organic, better for you and, I suspect, on holiday in extreme sun it would do a very good job of blocking out the sun. But for my everyday needs to provide a barrier between my skin and that big orange ball in the sky, it didn't work out.

i received a bottle that had exploded, and the content was all thick with clusters. Texture was very greasy, so i googled the ingredients : as it turns out, you should NOT use this if you have cystic acne. I returned it. It's maybe an ok product for body, but definitely not for face.

I have used this sunscreen before and really like that it is non toxic!! However I think it makes my face breakout so I only use it on my body. It is quite thick and somewhat greasy feeling
