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!
I've been using the Oasis Sunscreen now for a couple of weeks. The container is easy to carry with a flip lid and stands up with the lid facing downwards so when you open it; it comes out without having to push too much.
In the school holidays we were going on walks every second day and my daughter and I were using the Oasis Sun each time we went out. We found it very easy to spread onto our face, arms and legs. I didn't mind the smell, but my daughter did mention she didn't like it. We found if we reapplied the sunscreen every two hours like the instructions said then we didn't get burnt. Once on a walk, I didn't take it with me and we did come home quite red faced with the heat of the sun after a whole day out.
I have also tested this out on the rest of the family who play tennis and the boys' liked it as it was so easy to apply, not too runny and we all found it excellent. My skin is sensitive, but I had no problem at all with Oasis Sun.
Tips: Very easy to spread if you keep it upright with the lid down.
