I picked this all organic sunscreen from a long list after I found out that my other sunscreens had oxybenzone, a chemical linked to cancer.
Really, I wanted to like this stuff. I bought 3 bottles of it, sight unseen.
Well, here's what I found out:
1. When you first use it, only oil comes out. The oil and oxide separates. Even after shaking (who ever heard of having to shake a sunscreen?), it came out with variable consistency. My left arm was much less white than my right arm.
2. So there you have it. You turn white. My legs and arms turned white, even after a lot of rubbing, per the directions. My face looked like a death mask.
3. The oil gets on everything, my glass table needs Windex and my dark glasses got so oily that I couldn't rub it off using my cotton T-shirt. That might be a safety issue.
4. Try getting it off when the day is over. It takes a lot of soap and 3 times the normal shower time to get all the oil off your body.
5. It didn't work very well. My nose now looks like Rudolf's and my arms and legs, though not burnt, are much darker color than normal.
6. It has a short shelf life. It was manufactured 2 months before I received it and I have only 4 more months before it expires. Two of my three bottles would get thrown in the trash by my wife, but I'm going to store them in the fridge like an organic oil until next summer. $40 is $40.
7. It clogged my face pores and I got a pimple on the end of my nose. That never happened with my other oxybenzone filled sunscreens.
Use it in good health, but know the shortcomings.
