This sunscreen is great. Yes, it is hard to rub in but that is because it actually works and doesn't put as many chemicals into your skin. This sunscreen has been tested by the EWG and they rate it well because it protects the skin like it is suppose to, many sunscreens do not. It does absorb, it takes about 20 minutes. I think it is wonderful because I know when the kids no longer look like snowman it is safe for them to go in the water.

I have sensitive skin, and acne prone skin, and this doesn't make me break out. It is a little thick and makes me look really white but it is relatively safe compared to other sunscreens and does not irritate my skin at all.

After becoming aware of the dangers of sunscreen and the lack of protection of most products I searched the EWG's sight for a decent suncreen that was not too harmful and protected me from UVA and UVB rays and wasn't too expensive.

This one fit the bill, I have extremley fair skin and so does my red-headed husband. He will often burn just standing in the sun for 15 minutes. In the past I purchased spf 100 for him which didn't even work.

So I got this product to give it a try hoping the zinc would provide more protection for him. It is easy to rub in, just remember less is more and worked great he wore it while working in the yard for about 5 hours and didn't even have a red tint to his skin. I love this product so much I bought two more bottles to take to mexico with us.

I didn't notice it being greasy or too white and chalky, maybe the other reviewers got an old bottle or something. Also we are both pretty white so we may have not noticed the white simply because our skin is already so white.

It went on just like normal suncreen to me and smell just like all other sunscreen.


FYI: The Coppertone Sensative Skin for Faces 50spf is great for your face, nice and light.

I actually did research on using this for my newborn, and this was one of the top rated because it does what it's supposed to do, which is block the harmful sun rays. I can understand how it's a little bit more inconvenient because it's so thick and you have to ensure complete coverage, but it's worth the extra effort in my opinion.

I bought this because I ran out of my other sunblock and couldn't find it at the store, so decided to give this sunscreen a try. I did not like this at all! It was really thick, and did not absorb into the skin well at all. It was so thick, that my skin was "white" from the sunscreen. It was really hard to wash off, and still smelled after trying to wash it off. Needless to say, I returned it.
