5.0 out of 5 stars
Depends on what you are looking for..., January 4, 2008
This review is from: UV Natural - Adult SPF 30 Sunscreen (5.29oz) (Health and Beauty)
Really needed to address this product, especially based on the one previous review. This is a wonderful product for those of us who are allergic to any of the other sunscreens. I've searched for years for a sunscreen that I could use, as we spend a good portion of our winters in Florida. I even had severe reactions to the formulations that my dermatologist suggested, but could wear this product.
Yes, it does "stick with you", but that's even going in and out of the Gulf (and I don't usually re-apply, even though I should).
Put on a thin coat. Then just use good old soap and a washcloth in the shower when you get home.

The best of the "natural" sunscreens, August 13, 2009
This review is from: UV Natural - Adult SPF 30 Sunscreen (5.29oz) (Health and Beauty)
I've tried a few "natural" sunscreens-- all claiming to avoid the burning irritation and toxic chemicals of mainstream brands. Though I've liked the ingredients or texture of some better than UV Natural, this is the best compromise of all worlds, I think. At least, its the best I've found so far. A little goes a long way and during a scuba diving trip in Nicaragua, I would find that one early morning application would keep me from burning the entire day. While it does feel very greasy and sticky going on, after minutes, my normally dry skin felt only nicely moisturized. Two friends with oily and normal skin agreed that they preferred it to the others I had.
I love this product because:
It performs well- I've never had a burn using it.
It lasts long- with good judgement, I usually only need to apply once.
My skin feels well moisturized all day.
Not tested on animals.
Recyclable bottle.
One bottle has been lasting me all summer (so far.)
The bottle is small and concurs with airline regulations for carry-ons.
I don't get irritation, even around the eyes.
Reef friendly- I don't feel guilty polluting the water while protecting myself.
I don't like that:
If my hair touches my face, it can get greasy.
The ingredients aren't quite as simple/pure as those in the Badger sunscreen I have.
It takes a while to apply (sticky.)
It does take some attention to get remove in the shower, but I'd hardly call it a hassle.

Love it but it DOES depend on what you are looking for, June 7, 2008
This review is from: UV Natural - Adult SPF 30 Sunscreen (5.29oz) (Health and Beauty)
LOVE this for my kids. First I feel that it is "no junk" just all natural ingredients that are only good for them. Second, the coverage can't be beat. My kids have NEVER burned and we are out in the poolr 3-4 times a week in the summer. I didn't love the smell at first, it doesn't smell like much, maybe art clay or something, but we got used to it. It is very thick and messy going on, but you don't have to reapply hardly ever. Its amazing. And, it is true, a little goes a very long way, especially on little bodies. Love this stuff. Only stuff for us.
