I cannot belive this has been discontinued! Such a bummer as I totally loved this moisturiser! Not much point in me writing a full review now though....

I have been using this sunscreen for a couple of months now, and it has been great for my acne-prone sensitive skin. It hasn't caused any breakouts, it is cosmetically elegant (no white cast), spreads easily and it's all natural!
My only reservation about this product is that it only contains 10% ZnO (I emailed them to find this out), and therefore I only used it in winter. The smell can be problematic for some, it's not terrible but I guess it's quite plantey. I personally don't mind it.
The packaging is easy to use and it's recyclable, it also keeps the product fresh as it is designed with the dispenser at the bottom.
Overall I really like the product, although I do wish for a higher percentage of ZnO, which is why I gave it a 4.
I would still repurchase.

This stuff uses zinc oxide as the sunscreen, which I've found more effective and nicer to use than chemical sunscreens. No parabens, pretty much made of plants completely! I've been using it for a couple of months and still have heaps left in the bottle. Goes on easily, doesn't leave a white cast at all, easy to apply makeup over. It says on the website to use it after moisturiser, but I use it as my moisturiser, and it seems to work either way.
Something I've found about this product which kicks all chemical sunscreens to the kerb - at the end of the day, I'm not greasy at ALL. I think some of the ingredients are actually helping to clear my skin up. It does have manuka honey and tea tree in it, so that may be it.
Packaging is pretty good - fully recyclable - sits upside down so you don't need to squeeze it out. Dispenses at a reasonable pace so you don't have too much coming out, either.
Price was $55NZ for 100ml, which does sound like a lot, but it manages to last a while.
Will definitely repurchase.
Update: Four months later and the bottle is still going strong... I love this stuff.
