I bought this product because I liked the idea of using something without all the added chemicals. I have to say I was disappointed as I would not call this invisible at all. It goes on as quite a thick, white cream and is definitely not invisible. It does keep me from burning but there are other products that do that without leaving my skin white.

Reviews
I bought this at Countdown when they were having a clearance sale. I wanted a cheap natural sunscreen for my hands. First of all I want to say that it's not invisible it leaves a thick hard to rub in white layer. I don't mind reapplying this on the backs of my hands as it keeps from getting sunburned, it's not moisturizing though which is weird because it's very thick and greasy. My hands haven't gotten sunburned so I would say it's doing it's job but it doesn't live up to it claims as "a sunscreen for the face" or "non-whitening" or "dries clear". When the tube's finished I'm not going buy another one.
Tips: If you use it as a sunscreen for your hands apply a good hand cream underneath as it will dry out your skin.
I purchased this as I am allergic to normal sunscreen on my face. Zinc works as a barrier to protect you from the sun, whereas normal sunscreen is a chemical reaction when sunlight hits it (thats the part I am allergic to).
This sunscreen comes in a nice compact bottle, however has quite a chemical smell when you put it on even though it says it does not have chemicals in it.
I found a little goes a long way - only need a pea sized amount for my whole face, and does not go on white like the below comments. My guess is that they were applying too much hence why it was not all rubbing in. It is however a little greasy which I have to agree with, but isn't too bad!
I am not allergic to this which is a lifesaver as I am going to Rarotonga soon and was not sure what I was going to do in regards to sun protection for my face!
