Our dermatologist recommended this sun screen as the best protection and it works very well. It seems to be great protection, we have never had a sun burn. There is a big downside though: it is very difficult to apply and we always struggle with our toddler when we put it on him. It takes a long time until the white film is smeared in and we always have white marks on clothes, the stroller, bags etc... It also leaves a shiny film on the face (and causes greasy hair around the face) so I would not recommend it for adults who mind this...

Solbar Shield is effective enough to save even a skinny-dipping Swede from his own longing to be reborn as a tropical savage. It doesn't smell! It doesn't wash off in either fresh or salt water. It doesn't melt into your sweat and sting your eyes. One application will serve for a whole day in the sun, unless you have a British/Irish complexion, in which case two will do. What more could you ask for?

I don't usually review skin-care products, but I had such good experience with this one on a beach-camping & kayak expedition recently that I want the company to thrive and keep making the stuff. Besides, although global warming will not lengthen the hours of sunlight, it will strengthen the urge to take off your shirt and wear shorts.

This product was recommended to me by a dermatologist when my very fair son was complaining about the usual sunscreen burning his skin. This hypoallergenic sunscreen did the trick, and the complaining stopped right away!

I love solbar. I have a lot of skin issues like allergies and I get burnt easily. Solbar is great for my skin and protects me from the sun. This thick sunscreen doesn't sweat off either!

I use this sunscreen for my arms. I don't use it for my face because it leaves a white shield on it. But it really protects against the sun rays because it has the titanium on it.

This is a good product. But it leaves your skin with a white chalky film. Unless you are very fair skinned or want to look like a ghost, do not use this on your face.

My cosmetic dermatology from Kaiser permanente recommended to use it and I really like it. it's light and no greasy.

LOVE this product! Rubs in easily and is not greasy or oily. I feel very protected when wearing this and my Derm Doc. loves it also!

Does what it says it does, blocks the rays and stays on even after sweating. Only caveat I would have, and that goes for most physical sunblocks, is that it takes forever to take off! I can rub it off in the bathtub under water but I have to scrub several times with a loofah and/or a body scrub.

I suppose it is the price you have to pay if you want a decent sunblock for the body. There are face sunblocks like Skinceutical or Elta that sell physical sunblock and are easier to wash off, but the prices are unreasonable.

This works pretty well... It's a bit thick and can be difficult to spread on your face, but I don't think you need to apply very much of it. Once its rubbed in and dries, its not oily or greasy at all. Overall, its a pretty good product.
