Sunscreen is something i've always loathed it tends to be greasy, stinky, clogs pores, stains clothes and makes my skin feel kind of dirty, THIS sunscreen inflicts none such nonsense! I was luckily sent this product to trial and was impressed to see shea butter, jojoba & vitmain E in it, all skin care ingredients I use regularly.
This sunscreen lotion looks much like any other it's white, neither thick or thin the consistency is what I would call perfect for a sunscreen lotion. The scent is mild and natural with just a hint of that very typical sunscreen scent, zinc. The packaging is very appealing particuarly if you're very fussy when it comes to sunscreen which I am, and indicates that it should certainly be suitable for absolutely everyone.
When applied this lotion feels weightless on the skin, slightly oily to the touch in a good way, hydrating. It's hydrating enough that I've been using it as a summer substitute for moisturizer on my face, underneath my makeup and it doesn't affect my makeup application or wear. As recommended on the tube reapplication is required every 2-3 hours, after around 3 hours it seems to have fully absorbed into the skin.
This is by far the best sunscreen lotion i've ever tried although it's a hell of a lot pricer than what i've ever paid for a sunscreen. But because sunscreen is such an important product for everyone particuarly here in ozone layer depletion NZ, it's probably worth the money to wear sunscreen comfortably with the benefits of being natural & cruelty free, and be safe in the sun!
The first thing I notice about this product is it promises a lot, from the get-go I had high expectations. It did not disappoint.
You only need small amount of this product as it goes a long way. It is easy to rub in to your skin and so deliciously moisturising, I have been using it on my legs in the morning to give them a moisture boost. I find it is very slight whitening but this is me being very nitpicky.
I mixed equal parts of this sunscreen with my morning surem and let that soak into my skin for a few minutes before applying my makeup. I will admit I was conserned that because I have oily skin my makeup would slide around or my skin would be more oily than normal. I did not notice any difference in my skin throughout the day, my makeup wore as it normal did.
I also have sensitive skin, particularly on my face. I didn't not notice any irritation on my body. There was a slight irritation on my face, however it went way quickly and did not cause any noticeable redness or lasting affect.
There was no white mark transfer on my clothing, which is awesome. You can feel that you have something on your skin, however, it was not greasy or slippery in any way.
I really enjoy using this product, it's great that it is curelty free and make in New Zealand. Over all I highly recommend this product.
Tips: When using this product under your makeup let it soak in and 'dry' before applying your makeup. :)
