Sunscreens Sensitive Mineral Lotion SPF30, 100 g

I bought this for the first time this year (2022) but so wish I’d found it before now. My eyes puff up, sting and water so badly with most sunscreens even those ones that say they’re for sensitive skin or babies. I’ve tried an enormous range of sunscreens for sensitive skin and paid a ridiculous amount of money trying to get one that doesn’t make me want to tear out my eyeballs! I thought I’d try this and it’s fabulous. Yes, it’s a bit tricky to rub in - but it does eventually (tip - put your moisturiser on first, let it absorb then put this on - goes on much easier than straight on to dry skin). Yes, it leaves a temporary white cast but just don’t use too much, rub it in well, and it will sink in after a short while. No, it doesn’t go on silky smooth like chemical creams and it’s a bit of a faff - but if you have sensitive skin or eyes this works and works really well. It leaves a kind of lovely moisturised matte finish once the cream has settled (and the white cast does disappear). No real scent, no reactions, very effective. I’m really so glad and relieved I found it. 5*.

I have a bit of a love hate with this sun cream. I hate how it looks on its own; its very greasy/sticky, can get quite streaky and does leave a white cast, however nowhere near as bad as other mineral sunscreens I have tried and I'm very pale. But, I LOVE how moisturising it is, which I believe is why its so greasy. I have normal to dry skin and my face feels amazing after I've worn it. Wearing a moisturiser underneath makes it very hard to rub in, but I've found I really don't need one under it anyway. It's also great under makeup. I guess it depends what type you use but I have found no problems. Still looking for a sunscreen for the days that I don't wear makeup though. But as a budget, good quality sun cream it is a keeper for makeup wearing days. I definatly don't recommend if you have oily skin, but of course sunscreen is trial and error, you have to try it to know how it will be on you

I have sensitive skin, it reacts easily to sweat let alone any kind of lotion! I thought I would give this a go this holiday, the way I looked at it was the worst it will do is the same as all the others and I'll break out in spots - chest, back, shoulders..... BUT I didn't! First holiday for a LONG time! This is a thick cream, I had my doubts I'll be honest, although creamy and seemed too thick and it does take some working in spreading - but its worth it. I've had great protection and no reaction at all, well impressed! Clear skin = great product!

The good thing to be said for this is that it does leave my skin looking nice (although greasy) as it seems to somehow make pores looks smaller. Iv not noticed that it has any unpleasant scent either. I still got a little burnt using it, but it was in an area possibly rubbed by clothing so I'm not sure I'd blame the lotion. I went back to using chemical sun lotion in the end though (Nivea) as I had real trouble with how greasy this is. I had to just accept my hair would look a bit greasy round my face, and have to wash my hair daily when using this(a huge pain as my hair is waist length). I tried using powder foundation over it, but it was still overly sticky and made it cake, and to be honest I hate wearing makeup so I usually chose to just look greasy. It looked very white when I put it on but it went translucent quickly. It left my skin very sticky for the entire day when I used it in the morning, and I hated the feeling of my clothes sticking to my skin. I dont HATE the product, but it cost me £16 for the bottle and as much as I didn't want to, I have to admit I don't see the value in getting it again when when Nivea is easier to wear and a third of the price.

I suddenly became allergic to normal chemical sunscreen and came up with an horrible itchy rash. I then looked for alternative 'physical' sunscreens and they were all so expensive. I tried one and it didn't work at all and I still got a rash (and burnt!) and then tried this one. It is not too bad to apply, it does take longer to rub in than a chemical suncream but it does rub in ok. The white cast is hardly noticeable. The main thing is that I had no reaction at all to this and it also worked - no burning! For the price, it is excellent and I used about half a tube in 5 days. I would recommend this for people who can't tolerate chemical-based creams.

I don't like the feel or the finish of this lotion, it feels a horrible thick white residual no matter how much its rubbed in reading other review I was sold on it being Cruelty free especially on black skin you look purple in the sunlight I was disappointed to say the least not worth the money

Was confiscated by airport security for its high concentration of zinc and magnesium! I hadn't even opened it, so not suitable for travel; completely wasted my money. And not refundable! It's a great product I use a lot, as I've highly sensitive skin, so I NEED a natural product. Now I'm stuck on Holiday in 30° with crappy cheap Sunscreen that is making my skin angry.

I have tried dozens of different sensitive unscented SPF's on the face, and this is the only one I've tried that I can wear all day that never makes my eyes sting or water. I even apply it directly to my eyelids and the corners of my eyes with no stinging. My eyes are really sensitive to SPF normally, they usually burn a lot, especially after a few hours when it mixes with my natural skin oils. Because this is a mineral sunscreen, it is a bit thicker and leaves more of a cast than a chemical sunscreen, but it really isn't prohibitive and the cast fades after the cream settles. On days where I don't want to worry about the cast, I will apply this around my eye mask area only, then use my other facial sun cream on the rest of my face. This keeps my whole face protected from the sun and my sensitive eyes protected from the chemical SPF!

Premettendo che il mio tipo di pelle è mista con tendenza acneica, ho veramente adorato questo prodotto. Pur essendo una crema solare minerale si applica decentemente anche sotto al makeup e non secca né irrita la pelle. Ho notato un miglioramento generale anche della produzione di sebo oltre che alla riduzione di sfoghi e imperfezioni (nb. il prodotto non pubblicizza questi effetti in particolare ma personalmente questo è ciò che ho riscontrato). L'unico difetto è che ho ricevuto la vecchia edizione del packaging e non la nuova delle foto ma onestamente nonj è stato un problema e sono più che soddisfatta. Assuming that my skin type is combination and also prone to acne, I really loved this product. Even though it is a mineral sunscreen, it applies decently even under makeup and does not dry or irritate the skin. I noticed a general improvement also about the production of sebum as well as the reduction of pimples and imperfections (note: the product does not advertise these effects in particular but personally this is what I found). The only flaw is that I received the old edition of the packaging and not the new one in the photoes but honestly it wasn't a problem and I am more than satisfied.

Me encantó, es súper hidratante pero no se siente pesado, si deja ligeramente brillosita la cara pero no como grasosa, más bien un brillo saludable no deja residuo blanco para nada una vez que lo masajeas y le das un minuto para absorberse y soy de piel morena, además de que es completamente mineral. No sé si sea ideal para el verano o pieles muy grasas, pero para mixtas y secas es el mejor.

As a biochemist I am fully in support of the mineral sunscreens. If you apply little bits at a time to your face and massage it in...wait a bit..repeat....you can actually use it on your face without getting that white look. I only use this now whether at work or running around outside. Very good.

We have extremely fair skin. This has been a great sunscreen for us. I have always used 50 for fear of little people getting burned so was a little hesitant about it "only" being 30 spf. After a lot of research on another website for chemical safety with beauty products I came across this. It appears to be one of the safest sunscreens chemical-wise. Although I have not yet tested it at the beach it is very difficult to wash from my hands after putting it on little people - so I can only assume it will stay on very well for water play. It is nearly completely unscented - immediately after applying it you can barely smell something (not chemically and not obnoxious - but just a light non-perfumy smell) but then the smell dissipates very quickly (we are very scent sensitive). After it being on for maybe 10 minutes you can't smell it anymore. It doesn't appear (so far at least) to stain clothing. It goes on very creamy and smooth and soaks into the skin well. So far so good - very pleased with the product and just ordered two more bottles through Amazon. I wish they did have a giant pump size - maybe they do and I just haven't found it yet. ****Updated 6/7/15: ****Follow up post: I really don't understand why people are complaining about the texture and thickness of the sunscreen. It may be slightly thicker than normal sunscreens but not by much. We've been using this for two years now and have gone through maybe 15-20 bottles and that's in the Seattle area, not in a high heat/sun area. Regarding size - I have contacted the company and they do NOT offer a larger size. Although I have found they make this in a clear spray now - although have not yet checked the chemical safety on the web. Have used this for the last couple years and many times at the beach since my review and it's an amazing sunscreen. Our "go-to" sunscreen now - and we go through a ton of it. No burns when using this even on very fair and sensitive skin. Really great product. Still wish they made a much larger size - would be willing to pay for a large pump size. Amazon has the best price and availability for this sunscreen by far - difficult to find in stores and when you do it's much more expensive.

After watching a video review on this product, I was already pretty confident in the product. For the past few years I've used Coppertone Sport and if I wasn't consistent with reapplying I could always count on getting a sunburn. Once I received the sunblock I blotted some on the back of my hand. I have eczema so I wanted to make sure it didn't cause a reaction. No fragrance - check. No weird reaction - check. Time for the real test! I spent a day in Florida's summer heat looking for a car... black pavement, beaming direct sun, etc. The lotion was really thick and a little difficult to rub in (which could be due to sitting in a hot warehouse before I purchased it, who knows). Once I applied to all exposed areas I felt like I was wearing a sweater. It was that thick. Good news, it pretty much acted as a sweater. No burn, not even a hint of pink skin after spending several hours in the sun without reapplying. The one area I did not apply, the back of my neck, however, was burnt. I will definitely purchase again.
