Natural Face Moisturizer & Mineral Facial Sunscreen SPF 30 – Facial Moisturizer with Antioxidants & Zinc Oxide Broad

I love this sunscreen for my face, and I've even started using it for my hands and arms since the body sunscreen from this brand was quite drying for my skin. I don't use make up so this goes on after I use HA serum and facial oil. It's smooth, no pilling and the ingredients are pretty much cleaner than most brands out there.

Ok, I am a sunscreen fanatic and have tried most products on the market and I am SO impressed with this product!!! It is by far the best daily facial sunscreen I've used so far!!! I really can hardly believe it is a (non-nano) zinc base as it leave absolutely NO whitish finish. First of all, it's hard to find a sunscreen with only physical UV blockers (zinc or titanium) without any added chemical blockers. There are a few (including the Korean skincare products) but they ALL leave a white film. This is the FIRST all zinc sunscreen that looks completely natural after application. I still have NO idea how they did this without using nano-zinc!!! Second, the texture and finish are so light and non-greasy that I cannot tell that I put anything on my face. It's fantastic!!! It absorbs right in!! Granted, I do not have oily skin so I cannot speak for someone who does. It isn't drying but also not super moisturizing so if you have dry skin, you might want to use a heavier cream under this product. Third, the smell is light and pleasant. i do not find it overwhelming or distracting. I rather like it. The downsides are (1) it is not inexpensive at about $20/2 oz and (2) it is not sweat resistant (though it suppose that would come at a cost of a more greasy texture). I love love love this sunscreen!!! I only started using it recently so I'll see if it really works well to protect my face from UV exposure... I'll update this later regarding the effectiveness as a sunscreen. Thanks for a fantastic product!!!

Good product. No white cast and greasiness. Good feel on the skin. Only thing to improve is the applicator pump - it doesn't dispense the product well.

This is a really great sunscreen. Leaves your skin moisturized and does not leave a white residue. I always wear sunscreen and this is a winner to me. Smells nice too.

I have a shelf of sunscreens. I am trying to find the perfect sunscreen for daily use on my face. I happen to be fair skinned, so if it happens to have a white cast, it isn't too noticeable. But still, I'd like to not even have to worry about it. I also would prefer not to use chemical sunscreens. I often use those on my body, but for my face which is more sensitive- the physical (mineral) sunscreens is better for me. There is NO white cast with this, so definitely fine for darker skin tones if you are looking for a physical sunscreen. This sunscreen is nice. I hot days or days I know where I will be sweating a bit, I don't bother with my expensive skin care routine, since I am likely to sweat it off. This sunscreen offers some skin care goodies above and beyond non nano zinc oxide. So I feel like I am still doing something for my skin, including moisturizing it. According to description, it has antioxidant super plants: --Juanilama: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant (87% more than vitamin E) properties, and --Fierillo: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and antioxidant properties; plus.. --Wakame Kelp: reinforce skin defenses again environment, etc --Tazman Pepper: reduces skin inflammation and redness, and --Arabica coffee oil: lubricates skin. regenerates hydrolipid barrier to promote hydration and skin repairing. Smells energizing- like a punch of citrus fruit. It lingers for a little while then seems to dissipate. I can get it near my eyes and they don't get irritated. Kinda surprised it is a strong scent for something that is likely to go on the face. Bottles says no synthetic colors, fragrances or unhealthy ingredients. "Fragrance" is vague here, and although maybe not synthetic, it should be cleared up as to what it is. The company says in answering one of the questions that the fragrance comes from essential oils- if so, they should list the essential oils used. I imagine it is a citrus blend, but essential oils are different than just listing "fragrance". It would be helpful to see exact oils used. Then in another question answered, it was not mentioned that essential oils are used to create fragrance, but that it would be naturally occurring from some of the other ingredients. Which is it? If it is the latter, then the company would be doing themselves a favor by taking the word fragrance out of the ingredient list since not only would it be redundant to keep it in there it could scare off people who are avoiding "fragrance" as a listed ingredient. A product can have a scent due to other ingredients used that have a naturally occurring scent .. and and still be fragrance free. If it is a matter of it being from essential oils.. then that should be listed as well- for better or worse- but at least it is transparent information. Some people have strong reactions to essential oils on their face, whether from scent or from the activity they have. Some dont have reaction. Yet Some have strong reactions to "fragrance" as an added ingredient. Normally I see "fragrance" on a bottle and choose something else, as it typically depicts synthetic, and if it isn't synthetic then it doesn't need to be listed generically as fragrance, but instead specifically as to what the fragrance is derived from. Anyway, I thought I would add that as I am sure there will be potential customers looking at the ingredient list and this may help them one way or another. I hope this review has been helpful to you. If I learn anything new, I will be sure to come back to update.

I've used this for at least four years and it's my favorite daily defense sunscreen. I notice some people had reactions but I have sensitive skin and rosacea and am have no irritation from this product. But everyone is different ... It goes on with a hardly noticeable hint of white then is quickly absorbed. Almost seems to even out my pigmentation a little. For those who mentioned it's dry, I don't expect this to be a moisturizer and use it on top of a treatment from the dermatologist. It smells fresh but isn't strongly scented. I've also tried Elta MD and it's a good product but this is less expensive for more product. The pump is handy until it can't reach and it becomes necessary to take the lid off and tap the remaining product into your palm each day. There's a good week or so left when the pump comes up empty. Hope you have as good of luck as I have. Some mention oiliness and piling but that hasn't been the case, but I order from the manufacturer directly which may insure I get the freshest batch.
