Cancer Society SPF 50+ Ultra Cool Beach Sun Spray

I bought this for two reasons. One because it is far easier to use on a kid that can't sit still for five minutes to put lotion on. Two because it sais non-greasy! I am all about non-greasy so I decided to chuck it in my trolley.

Skipping ahead one summer season; I found it to be quite different to what I expected! Disappointed to say the least. The spray bottle is very inline with all Cancer Society suncare products, It has the very familiar daffodil right at the top in plain site. The colour is a metallic looking blue, especially on the metal can. It's very pleasing to the eye. I always have to go for something that is SPF50 at least. I do prefer more but 50 is the minimum now.

It promised extra cooling and it definitely delivers. On a scorching summers day it is very refreshing to have nice cooling spray on sunscreen to help take away some of that heat. When spraying it on, it coats easily and in a wide area without having to respray too many missed areas. It says non-greasy, BUT, it was very greasy when rubbing it in. My skin and my sons skin was very oily looking after applying. I waited a few minutes, thinking that perhaps it just needs to absorb in to my skin. Fast forward half an hour and I am still oily looking....GROSS!!

I apply every two hours especially when in the water to be safe. I ended up having to put it on every hour and a half because I noticed my skin burning after being in the water. I guess this has a lot to do with not being water resistant.

On a plus side, my son thinks spraying it on himself is great fun. Far be it from me to stop him from wanting to be sun safe so I let him. It is a very good way to get your kids in to being sun smart but for me I would rather a lotion so I don't get the greasy residue afterwards. I would buy it again, but only for my son.

I love this sunblock! It has been so perfect for the summer heat, especially the hot Auckland weather this weekend! It really is "extra cooling" as it states, which makes it lovely and cool and applying it to your skin in the heat of the sun :).

I always love this style of sunblock - the sunblock that you spray; there's something about it that makes it feel so much more convenient and quick to apply then regular pumped sunblock out of a pump or tube.

It applys so evenly across the skin and is light and super quick drying.

I can have quite sensitive skin when it comes to suncreen, but this gave no reaction to my skin at all, also it didnt feel greasy and horrible on my skin (or hands) after rubbing it in.

After being in the heat of the sun gardening for the afternoon today, no sunburn here, wahoo :) - with this sunscreen being SPF 50+ that would have helped! I normally look for a suncreen with a rating of 50+

The spray will definitely last me for the remainder of summer, and is so easy to just throw into my handbag or beach bag. I will definitely repurchase once this one is used up.

Amazing product and so easy to use soaks in easier and better then the cream and doesn't turn u into a snow man white human love how u don't feel all greasy once applied

I thought this was a good sun spray that gave the Neutrogena one I usually use a run for its money. I definitely agree that it leaves a non-greasy feeling and doesn't have a scent/white tint like some other sunscreens. I would say however that i did find the spray itself can come out uneven and not as fine. However overall I would buy the again for myself and would recommend it for those who need a quick and easy way to put on your daily sunscreen!

I personally prefer sunscreens in a bottle rather than a spray but thought I'd give this a try anyway. I found it quite hard to rub in and make sure you've covered everywhere. It states that it's non greasy, but it definitely left me feeling a little greasy. I probably wouldn't repurchase this product, but will keep using it to see if I change my mind about it. I did however love how high the spf is. I'm very fair skinned and burn quite easily, so high spf is what I look for when buying sunscreen.

When I was requested to trial this product I have never tried a spray on sunscreen before so naturally I was very intrigued.

The application of this product is efficient! So fast and easy to apply, I never have to worry about if I have got sunblock covering the middle of my back again! (Well until the spray bottle runs out anyway).

The scent when applying has a very distinctive smell of a salty aftershave. Once dried it smells more like a vanilla moisturiser.

I feel that this sunscreen definitely holds up on the fact that it is non greasy. Once absorbed there are no streaks, no uneven awkward yellowish sun tan lotion marks or colour like many of the sun tan lotions I am used to. In fact my skin seems lightly moisturised and supple.

I suffer from very sensitive skin and as usual I had to test out if it affected the worst part of my body - my legs! After showering early that morning I applied the sun spray after approximately 4-5hours. Now usually I cannot put any product on my legs until at least 24 hours after. This product stung a little but I did not break out in the normal itchy red splotchy extremely painful rash I usually deal with. Which I think is an amazing feat in itself.

I also had a chance to try it not only on myself but my six year old daughter who is very active and enjoys playing outside every day. Now usually putting sun screen on is a chore, but this seemed fun for her - also being quick and easy was great too. Although as it states that you cannot spray onto face I had to apply another sun cream. Which would be a bit of a hassle if the New Zealand summer had arrived as I would need to ensure that I brought two sun screens - on for face and the cancer society sun spray 50+.

Other than that I think that this product is amazing. I will be definitely stocking up my cupboard and have passed on to family and friends how great this product is.

Highly recommend!

I am so, so glad I gave this sunblock a try. I'm pretty guilty of not using sunblock because I can't stand the way it feels on my skin, always so greasy and like theres just a layer sitting on top of my skin that feels disgusting. However, I am so in love with this sunblock! First off I love how cooling it is when you spray it onto your skin, so so good on hot days. Secondly, I was actually amazed at how well it sank into my skin, it's super lightweight and while it made my skin feel moisturised it didn't have that typical gross, greasy feel. I wore this sunblock on a 28 degree day when I was in the sunshine all day with no cover, and I didn't even get slightly burnt, not even my shoulders which are super prone to burning. I'm so happy to have finally found a sunblock I like and I was 100% continue to buy this when I run out!

I used this over a weekend at a festival where I was out in the sun for hours on end.

First I want to mention that I did not burn at all while using this sunscreen despite being in constant sun and having very very pale skin. Another good point is the smell- slightly menthol but not overpowering.

The only bad thing I have to say about this product is that it's very greasy. I only use spray on sunscreens and have never had a problem with them being greasy so I was pretty disappointed about this one as the residue rubbed on my clothes and I wasn't able to use it on my face due to the greasiness.

Overall I'd probably buy a different spray sunscreen purely due to the greasiness of this product.

I like the idea it's for "NZ sun" as we have a thinner ozone layer and so the sun is particularly harsh on us. On first application, it gives off a slight menthol smell which I guess is what makes this "extra cooling" although I didn't actually feel it very much. I rubbed it in and it was quick drying but I could definitely still feel a film/layer of sunscreen the whole time I had it on - I guess you would call it "non greasy" but still present. Overall it works as a sunscreen and the Cancer Society is a reputable brand.
