Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+ Review

Even from a young age, I knew the importance of wearing sunscreen and using it all the time, whether is was sunny or cloudy outside. Only problem was the sunscreens I had access to were greasy, hard to rub into my skin, smelled unappealing and left a gross residue that often stained my clothes, making me more than happy to miss this essential product from my skin care regime.

Enter Oasis. I received this product as a sample from the Oasis website, and honestly I did not have high expectations for this product considering my previous sunscreen experiences. Boy was i wrong.

Firstly, lets start with the basic information, this sunscreen is SPF30, which is pretty good. The product is white, and thick enough to hold its shape easily. It has a faint smell, which does not smell chemically at all, and puts all those previous sunscreen experiences to bed! I would describe the smell as a faint almond essence smell combined with a fresh twist.

The formula, although white and thick is nothing like those other sunscreens I’ve experienced. Once applied to skin, it actually represents a lotion consistency, and is easily rubbed into skin. The sunscreen disappears completely, leaving no greasy residue on the skin, hydrating the skin as well as protecting it and I can honestly say this has never stained my clothes.

And here comes the final praise. This sunscreen is so lightweight that I use this as extra protection on my face, under my makeup, and it does not leave my skin oily, greasy or anything else undesirable. I always try to find a foundation, or product that has SPF in it, because I have never used a sunscreen that could be used in conjunction with my beauty products, until I tried Oasis Sunscreen.

Cannot recommend this product enough!

I've been really wanting to try this product ever since I saw it on the market as I'm a sun-lover but have yet to find a sunscreen I love, so picked this up recently before a holiday to sunny Australia. I'm a sun-lover who loves lying on the beach, but these days working in healthcare I am a lot more conscious of sun safety so wanted something that would protect my skin without the heavy, greasy feeling most sunscreens provide.

The first thing I noticed about Oasis Beauty Sun is the consistency of the formula, it's a light lotion instead of a heavy cream, similar to a body lotion. I found if you applied a smaller amount at a time (as opposed to the huge dollops my boyfriend uses!) then the sunscreen absorbed pretty easy. Afterwards there was no greasy feeling or dodgy white cast yay (unless I really slathered it on of course!).

I have oily, acne-prone skin and normally I HATE wearing actual sunscreen on my face as it ends up a greasy mess. Oasis Sun is the first sunscreen I'm happy to wear on my face.

Sunscreen wouldn't be worth it if it didn't perform though, luckily Oasis Sun does! I have medium-toned skin and one day at the beach I had previously applied sunscreen to my chest and arms and completely forgot my stomach. A painful burnt belly followed but my arms and chest were fine, so at least I learnt it does the job!

Last notes - I also like that it's a physical sunscreen, cruelty-free and a New Zealand made product. The squeeze tube packaging is also really convenient for chucking in a beach bag.

This is now my sunscreen of choice and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I purchased this while looking for a more natural sunscreen safe enough to use on my babies excema. This product really delivers, with natural ingredients, spf 30, non greasy, rubs in really well without a thick sunscreen slick like most and being safe enough for my babies skin, what's not to love! This is definitely the best sunscreen on the market and well worth the price.

My search for my holy grail sunscreen is over, as you can't get better than this oasis sunscreen!

I was looking for a sunscreen especially for my little 21 month old daughter to protect her from the harsh auckland sun. The sunscreen I had previously was supposed to be for sensitive skin, but using it on my daughters face she rubbed some into her eye and it became irritated and I just wasn't happy with the formula.

So, what do I do in my search to find a fantastic sunscreen? Research sunscreens on BR of course, and Oasis sunscreen sounded amazing. Off to the website I went and ordered a small 50ml version, perfect to pop into the pram or my small bag. I also wanted to make sure it was right for us, before jumping in to purchase the large size.

The packaging is stylish and sleek, with its orange and yellow colouring and flip top cap. Convenient and secure packaging which does not leak- just perfect to pop in your bag.

The sunscreen is white and has a lotion like consistency. It easily rubs into the skin and makes your skin feel lovely and moisturised. It doesn't leave an oily, whitish residue like other sunscreens can. It easily absorbs into your skin, you totally forget that you are wearing it- I've never had this with a sunscreen before!

It's quite pricey compared to other sunscreens on the market, but definitely worth it in my opinion-this a top quality product.

I have always been slightly wary of sunscreen, as I have eczema prone skin. But this product has caused me no irritation and has been so gentle on my skin.

This sunscreen is perfect, it protects us so well from the sun and perfect for sensitive skin. I'm so particular what I put on my daughters skin, but Oasis have made a fantastic sunscreen here. I'm definitely happy and will never be without this sunscreen now for my daughter and myself. After applying sunscreen to my daughter she always ask for more, so that's definitely a winner product by my books.

Five stars, thanks Oasis-yet another fab product!

I love NZ products!! Oasis Beauty is no exception, they put out power punches of highly effective products and this one is just as you would expect from them. I got a tube of this mainly to use under my make-up as some extra protection over the summer period and I have not been dissapointed on that front. My face has stayed pretty much burn free all season, yay. I took it away camping and ended up using it for myself and the kids as an every day sunscreen along with some other ones I had (its usually whats closest at hand when the kids wanna go outside). Its not a product I would reccommend for using with kids unless you are prepared to re-apply it often, and I mean, every time they get out of the water and at least every 2 hours if they are not swimming. Learnt that lesson the hard way (oops, sorry sis I got your kid a bit burnt). I, quite frankly, couldnt be bothered drying the kids off after a swim and doing that and as for the kids?? keeping them still to do that is just not going to work so, back to something else for them. As for me, I will keep using it on my face and body around home for sure, it goes on really smoothly with a very liquidy consistency and needs to be rubbed in really well or you will be left with white marks where you havent. It smells great too, quite fresh and not like a sunscreen at all. :-)

I was fortunate enough to get this during Oasis's sale. I wasn't keen to pay full price in case I wasn't happy with it, and others are so much cheaper. But there is a reason they are cheaper.

I love the packaging. It's so sunny and bright. The tube is big, but still fits in my handbag - and you can get a travel one if you need it.

The formula is great. I hate sunblocks that make you feel like you need to wash it all off straight away. This one I put on 3 boys and then myself and I don't feel greasy and gross. It has a pleasant smell which isn't overpowering like some - the boys like this, our last one "stinks like perfume" apparently!

My oldest and I burn at the drop of a hat, this summer we spent two weeks camping and aside from the last day where I stupidly forgot to put it on anywhere other than my face - we didn't get burnt! That's two weeks out in the full sun, on the beach, and no burn. I love it.

The only thing I would have marked it down a little on is not being able to wear it under make up - it says that you can, but when I have tested this out I find my make up slipping off in a hurry. This could be because my skin is oily and the combination of the two means my make up moves. But I didn't think it was enough to take a whole star away ;)

So in my opinion, it's worth spending a little extra and getting something that works well and feels good. And lasts! We are still using our tube when others disappear so quickly.

Thank you BR for recommending this Sunscreen. Its awesome. I found it to be totally non greasy so makeup glides on without streaking. No white caking either. The scent is about perfect. Not too cloying just very faint and hard to describe , almost non existent.A little goes a very long way so well worth the outlay.

A little while ago, I sent my daughter to daycare with her new sunscreen. I had been using aveeno sunscreen as my little girls skin is really sensitive because of her eczema. But when I ran out, I struggled to find more of the aveeno sunscreen. I checked multiple supermarkets, chemists and even a few warehouses but I had no luck. So I decided to try a nivea one.....

The same day I picked her up from daycare, her teacher told me her skin had reacted to the new sunscreen and it flared up her eczema quite severly. So I had to get rid of it.

I turned to some friends I've made on the BR site and quite a few of them recommened I try the oasis sun. So I searched it on the internet and was quite thrown back by the price. $40 to me was very pricey. Especially for sunscreen (and because I needed two, one for daycare and one for home, I was even more hesitant). It must have been my lucky day though as one of the girls put up a link to a website that currently had it on special so without hesitation I put it in my cart and checked out.

I'm so glad I did. It was like a miracle worker. I had to do a test patch first because I didn't want my girls skin to flare up again because I know how sore and uncomfortable it makes her.

The next day her skin was looking good so I knew that this product was going to be good for her. I used it sparingly (a little goes a long way) for a few months and her skin was looking better than ever. It didn't leave that awful sunscreen smell, it didn't leave her looking greasy and there were no ghost white patches in sight. It's really easy to rub in too. I find with most other sunscreens it takes quite a while for you to actually rub the product in properly so there's no residue left on your skin. So this is perfect for little ones who don't like to sit still for very long.

It protected her skin from the sun better than any other sunscreen. It said to re apply every so often so I would put some on her in the morning, and then her teachers would put more on at lunch time. And it worked brilliantly. She was protected from the sun all day long.

The only negative thing about this product is the price. Spending $40 on sunscreen all the time is just slightly ridiculous. Especially for a family. I will definitely repurchase, but only when it's on sale.

This product is great for sensitive skin. Its also non greasy which make me feel comfortable wearing it on my face while enjoying a day in the sun. I sometime brake our in a slight rash if I use the wrong product on my face. Didn't happen with this. I love that it is NZ made too. It is a shame its a tad on the expensive price but is often the case if you want quality and nz made. It does seem to last well which makes up the expensive price tag.
