5.0 out of 5 stars great non toxic sunscreen, July 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Desert Essence - Organic Pom Spf 30 Facial Mineral Sunscreen, 3 oz cream (Misc.)
I I found this face block on the Environmental Working Group's list of safest sunscreens. It is very thick - a little goes a long way. It leaves the skin slightly whitened, but since I use it under makeup, it doesn't show. I was at the beach for 4 hours and never had to re-apply. I would buy this product again.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent natural sunscreen, August 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Desert Essence - Organic Pom Spf 30 Facial Mineral Sunscreen, 3 oz cream (Misc.)
Many of the "natural" sunscreens still have the chemical sunscreens in them that are carcinogenic. This one does not and is rated quite well at the environmental working group website for safety. I've tried 4 or 5 truly natural sunscreens that use titanium or zinc oxide. Some were horrific, this is not my favorite but decent. For full on body sunblocks that are truly natural I prefer Carribean Solutions first, Alba Botanical Mineral Sunscreen second, and this third. It's not necessarily intended as a body block but it will work. Just a warning the Burt's Bees Sunscreen was the worse if you're looking around at options, it went on so dry you couldn't spread it, it clumped, sweated off almost immediately, and it didn't work, I burned terribly. So, finding one that works for you is important.

But, I regress.... Any natural sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium oxide will go on white. This one is no exception but it's pretty good if you don't put it on too thick.

The truly natural sunscreens like this are not overly water proof. I'd recommend this one for a facial sunscreen, not as much for an overall body sunscreen though as it's not as water proof as my top choices. Of course that makes it good for a facial option as you don't want to greasy of a formula on your face.

Over all, it worked well... I did not burn, it goes on reasonably well for a truly natural sunscreen, it's not very water resistant, not overly greasy so a decent option for your face, and I did not burn while using it. I will likely buy this again when I run out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Safe, Effective Sunscreen, August 21, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Desert Essence - Organic Pom Spf 30 Facial Mineral Sunscreen, 3 oz cream (Misc.)
This is an SPF30 sunscreen. In summary:

Good:
-SPF30
-it's on EWF's recommended sunscreen list (see EWF[dot]org)
-faint, mild aroma

Bad:
-tends to be expensive

Your call:
-Rather thick

This sunscreen has the consistency of cream cheese, which I prefer because it is easy to apply without running. I know people who think it is too thick (one tube burst at the seam when I squeezed it to get the sunscreen to come out), but I find that a little bit at a time may be applied, and spread evenly.
