Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This stuff rocks. I see this product all over the internet as “dermatologist recommended” plus EWG rates it highly. Mineral sunscreen holy grail for face and body. It’s very thick and gloopy out of the bottle, but when you start rubbing it in its turns a ghastly kabuki clown white. Be prepared to be shocked...but wait! It slowly dries clear, like on a scale of 1 to 10 no more than a 1.5 or 2. It’s amazing. When the product squirts out, it appears thick but when you start to rub it liquifies, and then it turns clear. You do have to rub in fairly aggressively, but even with my sensitive and thinning skin, does not irritate. No fragrance, and washes off easily with soap and water. High zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mineral content assures me of the sun protection I am guaranteed, plus the advocacy of many doctors and the EWG (environmental working group) which I trust to keep me safe. I am applying a full 1/2 teaspooon for face and neck, which further assures me of protection. It seems like a lot but when it dries down clear, you’ll be glad to have enough on to make sure no more hyperpigmentation or dark spots appear. I am pacific island of descent so I’d have to be out there all day to burn; sunscreen is helping me to avoid further damage from my youth of suntan beds and sunbathing. I am treating my sun damage with retinol and lactic acid, so sunscreen is super important. I will repurchase this, which says a lot. I have only repurchased a few of the dozens of sunscreens Ive tried. I prefer mineral over chemical. I like affordable products. It’s hard to find the “one” but this one is coming close. Edit 6/16/2020 EWG claims this sunscreens UVA rating will not pass the upcoming FDA proposed rating system. Although it claims a ‘GOOD’ rating (not EXCELLENT) for UVA/UVB protection, its not enough for me because I am more interested in UVA protection. I have rejected this sunscreen and lowered it to 1 star. Looking at the actives mineral content of zinc oxide - is only 10%. 7% is bare minimum protection so this again verifies that this is not the sunscreen for me. I will not repurchase and have thrown the bottle away.
