Good sunscreen September 6, 2010
Melissa (Washington, DC)
We like badger sunscreen, it is less watery than loving naturals and has a clean smell. Sometimes it doesn't blend in very well, though.
Safe, Good for daily use, but wouldn't recommend for the beach September 1, 2010

After having done a fair amount of research, looking at a number of consumer websites, this sunscreen really seems to be the safest stuff on the market.
It doesn't have any of the chemicals that are known to (in certain conditions) increase the chances of cancer, and the main ingrediant - zinc oxide - is present in mostly 200 nm sizes or larger. That's a good thing, b/c anything 30 nm or smaller can be absorbed by the skin, and could potentially be absorbed by deeper tissues as well.
They have gone through great lengths to make sure that the product is engineered to be the absolutely safest sunscreen on the market, and it shows in the consumer reports after consumer reports that rate this sunscreen among the very safest. It also offers good UVA and UVB protection, another plus. (UVB rays cause sunburns and cancer, UVA rays give you wrinkles and aging...)
Many other sunscreens by contrast only offer good protection for UVB rays, or use chemicals that over long period of time can be harmful. There actually aren't too many sunscreens that are safe and offer wide protection.
All this being said, I have a few gripes with the sunscreen.
1) It definitely smells a little funny. I wouldn't go so far to say that it smells like medicine, but it does smell like some strange herbal tea. It is not a bad smell, but its not a great smell either. The scent is not very strong as other users suggest and not really that noticeable, but it is still somewhat annoying. They should either make it unscented, or make it a more 'normal' smell...
2) Contrary to what other users say, the sunscreen does not make your face white. They're probably just using too much of it. With this sunscreen a little goes a long way. You have to take a very small amount, and just rub it in carefully. It takes an extra minute or two to apply properly. The caveat though is that this is definitely NOT a good sunscreen to take to the beach. It would take a very long time to properly rub this in all over your body, so that it doesn't leave white streaks. I'd recommend this for a daily use sunscreen for primarily the face and arms.
3) In my own case, after several days of use my skin tends to become excessively dry. I have to take a couple days off. Not the best for people who tend to have dry skin either.
All this being said, I'd still recommend this product, because it is absolutely the safest stuff on the market. Ultimately even using a sunscreen like this every other day is probably better than no sunscreen at all. It'll protect against cancer and lessen signs of aging, so I'm willing to put up with some of the minor hassles associated with the sunscreen.
Great natural sunscreeen. August 19, 2010

This is a great sunscreen, it is still thicker than the chemical laden versions but not as gooey/sticky/thick as some other natural kinds. It smells fine (not to strong or weird). I like it.
 Great product but my son had a mild skin reaction :( August 14, 2010

I love this product as it smells nice on the skin, rubs on easy as it has a creamy texture and it protects against burn all day. Unfortunately, this product caused my toddlers face to break out around his nose and mouth. Otherwise, I would recommend this product as he played for most of the day in the sun and in the water with this stuff on and absolutely no burn.
 Doesn't Work - unless your willing to look like a White Monster August 9, 2010

I've been taking care of my skin for years and using sunscreen regularly. I also care about looking good. This sunscreen in INCAPABLE of both protecting your skin and allowing you to look good at the same time. In order for the stuff to work properly, you have to smear large amounts of it all over yourself. Not only will you smell funny, but you'll look like a white ghost with visible chunks of white chemicals on your face blocking the sun.
In the past, I have used other products, including Kiss My Face. They do a better job of sinking into the skin and becoming unnoticeable and ALSO protecting your skin. So you can actually go out and look like a normal human being while your getting sun protection.
With this product, it will not work if you only use it sparingly, like some of the other products. You pretty much have to shellack yourself with big gobs of it, enough for you to look like a character from a horror movie, before you get protection from the sun. It can't realistically be used on a daily basis. Maybe it works great for a camping trip, or a sporting event if you don't care about looking good.
