After getting burnt really badly last summer I decided to not play around with sunscreen. This sunscreen came up and ticked all the boxes - SPF 50, Zinc Oxide, Mineral, Water Resistant, Affordable, Reef Safe.
It's now my go-to sunscreen and I am super pleased with it. I love the way it rubs in, it doesn't leave a white cast like other mineral sunscreens and leaves my skin feeling fresh and with a dewy natural glow. I use it every day under makeup to provide the perfect primer.
Even my bae Hyram recommended it!
I like it with SPF 50 and natually sourced Zinc oxide. I use about the size of my index finger nail, rub in on my face and neck. It absorbs in a few seconds, feels moistured and protected. Initially there is a bit shiny, then it gone and layering well with my other facial products. I usually use a bit of face powder, it looks really natural. It can be easily washed off with my facial cleanse cream.
I feel like there has always been a push to make Zinc sunscreen more "fluid" to avoid the thick mess that was past Zinc Sunscreen. But in my opinion you need a certain degree of "thick" to feel protected and moisturized. So although this sunscreen is NOT that sunscreen that goes invisible as it touches your skin. It DOES rub in with just a few back and forth strokes, it leaves my skin feeling PROTECTED and MOISTURIZED, and most of all it provides a natural zinc alternative that does not break my bank.
A side note and I will report back later, but I have started applying a thick layer of this at night and seen a significant decrease in redness and my acne. I know zinc can help for acne and I feel like this night routine might be giving it a chance to really have an effect.
The packaging is not the nicest on the eye, but I think that works to our advantage and sees it from joining the ranks of other $40+ all zinc sunscreens.
Hope this was of help!
