Invisible Zinc Face + Body Sunscreen Spf 30+

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.

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.

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!

ive gone through so many sunscreens and never find the perfect one, my mum gave me this and i love it, you don't need a lot which makes the tube last forever, i goes on a bit greasy but otherwise its a good sunscreen

I bought the Invisible Zinc Face + Body sunscreen after seeing it reviewed in a magazine and I was after a sunscreen product that didn't contain all the nasty parabens and chemicals present in most other products on the market. It absorbs quickly and doesn't show but is a thick product and I find it feels heavy on my skin, especially on my face. However, I had noticed on a recent holiday that when swimming it would come up white on the skin. This being said, I always apply this when I know I'm going to be a long time in the sun and have never burnt. Still waiting for more natural sunscreen products to hit the market.

Some sunscreens irritate my skin so I decided to try a physical sunscreen like all zinc based sunscreens. This sunscreen was very thick and felt greasy on my face, also left a white cast on my olive skin that was very difficult to try and rub in. I tried for five minutes and I still looked kind of grey. It certainly did the job, and my face didn't sting, but my face looked and felt bad. Hate to waste things so I'll use it up at the beach when I need heavy protection, but certainly not day to day at work due to the appearance.

This is a sunscreen I always go back to especially for my kids. I wanted something that worked really well but was quite natural and didn't have any of the nasties you find in nearly every other sunscreen. My issue has been with some natural sunscreens that they just don't work as well as some of the mainstream chemical laden sunscreens. My children are very fair and this always seems to keep them protected. It is quite think but once spread over and rubbed in is ok. It does leave a definitely lightening effect to the skin. No one in my family reacts to this, it's effective and a little goes a long way so a bottle lasts a long time. We will definitely be continuing to buy. Love it!

Recommend this product for it being non reactive and relatively easy to rub on. It was great for my daughter who reacted to some sunscreens when she was younger. It is much better than how zinc used to be… it used to be almost impossible to apply it was so thick and sticky. But I am thrilled to say that this invisible since is much better in that respect. Though still not as easy to apply as some other brands, it is worth it for the fact it did not react with my daughter.

It’s been so sunny of late and I am a middle aged fair skinned red head - this sunscreen is a life saver! I am learning to surf and spend hours in water. The coverage from the zinc base is fantastic. Didn’t have to reapply til I got out of the water. Yes I was even paler than normal but wrinkles a leathery skin and skin cancer is way less cool! So I highly recommend this to fellow sunburners!
