Sunscreen for Face and Body SPF 20

I take ingredients very seriously. Especially for things I put on or in my body everyday. I've started getting this sunscreen auto shipped every two months, as a way to hold myself accountable with daily use regardless of my activity, and to avoid needing to buy something on impulse. I've done plenty of research and ended up here with Stream2Sea. (Past products ingredients changed and have pollutants and endocrine disruptors, no thanks) I use the Yuka app to compare and dig deeper into ingredients of cosmetics and food as a jumping off point, it's been invaluable. This sunscreen goes a LONG way. It is said you need about a shot glass worth for your entire body, unlike run-of-the-mill sunscreens that you need to lather on to get a good layer of coverage. That's why I don't mind paying more for less product that is quality & safe. For me and for the ocean. I have fair skin and can burn easily but I'm more concerned these days with sun exposure in general because skin cancer is so common and living in Florida feels much different than living in Michigan, ha! So, to sum up, start with less and blend, blend. The white cast you might end up with will fade and with regular use you can mostly avoid. For my face I use Fuka Eri. It's a Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide non nano vegan formula that's reefsafe and cruelty free. I keep it just outside on the back porch so it stays soft for easy application and the tinted version I cut with a tiny bit of coconut oil so it goes on like moisturizer and makes the product go farther avoiding unnecessary waste. 🙂 Hope this review helps. ☀️🧴

This sunscreens will last pretty much all day! It is the mineral sunscreen so it will make you look more white than other sunscreens, but it is better for you skin and body. Plus it does not wash off in the water very easily. Great for the beach

Bought this for a trip to Mexico where certain sunscreens are banned. I thought it was rather expensive for a small tube. It did work though. I spent several days in the sun including swimming and in parks and did not burn. As others have noted though it doesn't rub in very well. If you weren't white to begin with you will be after applying this stuff. I will say it is much more waterproof than typical sunscreens. After being in water for more than 2 hrs I could still see the areas of my skin where it hadn't been fully rubbed in still had white sunscreen streaks on them. It also doesn't smell bad. So you won't have that tell tale sunscreen smell. I do like that about this sunscreen. Overall its not bad. It does work. I kind of prefer sunscreens that actually rub in though.

Approved by EWG environmental working group. if you're not familiar with this group please check them out! This product is Nurse Approved! EWG are Powerhouse in alerting the government and consumers of dangerous chemicals. The European Union has banned many chemicals that are still used in the United States that are dangerous for human consumption. They also have an app where you could look up any product and it tells you on a scale the chemical exposures you may experience. Who wants to expose themselves and their family more dangerous chemicals? Remember the zinc sunscreen in the 80s and the life guards with the white noses? This sunscreen goes on thick and because of the zinc content does not rub in very easily and stays very white on the skin. I just use a few drops of water to rub it into the skin a little better so I'm not Ghostly white. I've used it four times this summer so far with hours of sun exposure paddleboarding and have not experienced any sun burns. Tanning nicely. It's expensive for the size and the amount of suntan lotion that you get. Knowing that I'm not exposing myself to additional harmful chemicals is worth it for me!

A biologist actually recommended this sunscreen and I'm glad I came across him and found out about it! Most conventional sunscreens contain an absurd amount of chemicals and harmful additives that harm not only you, but the environment and wildlife as well. These conventional sunscreens may protect you from the sun, but in the process still harm you. With this sunscreen, however, not only am I happy that I could spend a little extra and help the planet, I'm also pleased to say this stuff works! I'm very pale with freckles so I'm always lathering up with sunscreen. Knowing that this one isn't harmful and can still protect me is fantastic. I wore it every day for a week-long trip to the Jersey shore and I didn't burn at all. One thing I will note is that a little goes a long way, if you use too much you'll look much paler than you did before you started applying the sunscreen. But this is true for any mineral sunscreen. All in all, do yourself and the planet a favor and buy some!

I bought this for a Caribbean vacation and wanted a brand that was reef safe. It offered good sun protection, but like most reef safe sun screens, it took a while to rub in and left my skin with a white tint.

I wish I had pictures from when I used this sunscreen. I had deleted them from my phone by mistake. This sunscreen is great for protecting the environment, especially for our water creatures and the ocean water itself. I used this sunscreen for my trip to Puerto Rico for a week. Luckily it was cloudy there for the first few days, so it did it’s job. On sunny days, I felt like it wasn’t giving enough protection, so I switched to regular sunscreen, but made sure I didn’t go into the ocean water with it. It’s non-greasy and leaves a slight white sheer when applying. But it lightens when you rub on to your skin a little longer. But didn’t disappear, so you’ll notice a difference in sheer. And it’s water proof, so that was nice when I went swimming with some fishes, knowing I wasn’t harming their health and environment. Oh! One more, it didn’t feel sticky in the humidity of PR. That’s a plus ! It’s a good sunscreen and pack a different, stronger sunscreen for protection the sunnier days.
