Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+ Review

I read this great blog that suggested using moisturiser as well as a decent SPF 30 was likely to create an oil slick and challenged me to use just sunscreen for 7 days, this was the one she recommended and I can see why. Its great coverage and doesn't clog your pores but leaves your skin feeling fresh and hydrated and ..... it seems to let my makeup stay on much longer. The oasis crew are lovely to deal with too which is an added bonus. Oh and NO animal testing

I was lucky enough to win a bottle of this sunscreen to try. I hate wearing sunscreen in general because of the greasy feeling it leaves me and I didn't get that with this bottle.

I also use it on my kids.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :-)

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!
