4.0 out of 5 stars Safe, effective sunscreen - must be used sparingly, March 19, 2008

By	Albino Rhino (Ithaca, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I have had good luck with this sunscreen. This product claims to cover a broader UV spectrum than most sunscreens. I have fair skin, and used this product in Florida this past spring and did not get burned.

As the other review stated, this is a thick sunscreen, and it starts off feeling greasy. The trick is that very little of the product is needed to be effective. Before rubbing onto the skin, this sunscreen must first be warmed and softened by spreading it between your fingers on both hands. If this isn't done, the product spreads very poorly, and you will go through a lot of it very quickly. As the manufacturer states, only the thinest layer of sunscreen is needed to block UV rays. It's thickness also keeps it from washing away from sweat or swimming. It has a consistency similar to hair styling mud; I did not find it unpleasant or overly greasy. I have actually used it as hair styling mud, which works quite well.

Although I did not suffer any breakouts (and I'm prone to them) I could see that happening with some people. The company claims the product does not cause breakouts, but if you have problems you may wish to use a separate product on your face or other sensitive areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best SUNBLOCK available, June 30, 2008

By	Nadine Mccruden "Nadine" (Manchester, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had melasma (cholsma) for years. If you do not know what that is, it is basically hyperpigmented skin. As soon as the sun hits my face, the hyperpigmentation darkens horribly. Although only a cosmetic problem, having dark patches on the face is embarrassing.

I have tried every sunscreen known to man and this is the ONLY sunblock that has not worsened my melasma. I will always have it but I know it will not get worse. I have longed to be in the sun again, and now I can thanks to this sunscreen.

I would recommend this to anyone but anyone suffering from melasma there is not a better choice out there for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best natural sunscreen I have used so far, November 4, 2009

By	Ian Mckay - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are a lot of positives to this product. To give you some background, I have used this product for over two years on a weekly basis in Florida. I am fair skinned, and I am typically outside for several hours on Saturday and/or Sunday playing soccer.

As others have mentioned, this sunscreen has a very thick consistency and should be applied sparingly. Make sure you allow at least 15 minutes for it to set in before going into direct sunlight. I found that reapplying every two hours when sweating a lot kept me from getting burnt, although it doesn't absorb well when I'm wet. Just towel off before re-applying.

The single 4.4 oz bottle lasted for about two years, so the price is not unreasonable when you consider the quality and how long a bottle will last. The only real negative is the strong smell of patchouli that the sunscreen gives off, but some people may like it.
