FOA Ultra Sunscreen is SPF30+, 4 hours water resistant and contains zinc oxide, rosalina hydrosol (retains moisture) & vitamin E.
Consistency is thick (something I prefer because of the zinc oxide) and does initially leave a white sheen on your face that fades away after a few minutes. Although it claims to be a non-greasy formulation, I do find my skin looking a LITTLE shiny upon application (inevitable with all sunscreens I reckon), but it's really not a big deal as I've tried Banana Boat and Cancer Council sunscreens in the past, and FOA is definitely not as greasy as them. This sunscreen is not drying at all, sometimes I even skip the moisturiser step and just put this on. It also works well under makeup.
A 200mL bottle costs $10 or less and with daily usage, can last about 2 years. I'm already on my 3rd bottle! This is one of the cheapest sunscreens out there and I think for the quality and quantity, it's really really good! My boyfriend always compliments me and says my complexion is a lot brighter and smoother when I've got this on :)
Also just letting you guys know, this review is only for the 200mL small version. I also bought the FOA Ultra sunscreen in a larger, family-size version (exactly the same name and almost identical packaging) and the consistency is different! It's a lot more watery, absorbs faster, so more suitable for spreading over the body. continued >>

Good sunscreen for general all over body use. Provides excellent protection with no white ghost look. Formula is quite thick and requires a little bit of rubbing on application, but nothing too strenuous! It is quite greasy so not ideal for the face. But for slathering on before you head outdoors - great stuff!
