I have sampled this twice and it is SOOOOOO THIIIIICK. It works great but I would not buy this for everyday wear as it is so difficult to apply. I would only buy and use this for strenuous outdoor sporting/swimming days. This is a great option for outdoor (river, lake, ocean) swimming since it is biodegradable and contains only mineral sunblock and won't harm wildlife. The thick white cast blends in surprisingly well after a couple of minutes, but this is not "cosmetically elegant", as they say. On the other hand, I assume that its thickness would actually be a plus for swimming and sweating since it probably won't melt or wash off as fast as more watery formulas. I have noticed some inconsistency in the ingredients lists in general with Lavera, but this particular sample has both ZnO (3rd ingredient) and TiO2 (5th ingredient). I found it not too greasy, maybe even a little bit drying.
Compared to this, the Lavera Kids sunscreen is considerabley easier to apply, though it's also rather thick, and the Kids' version has a light orange tint which makes it blend in better. I prefer the kids version over this.

This is a different product from the Lavera 20 Anti-ageing Sunscreen. I made a mistake and bought this one after reading the rave reviews of the other one. Don't make the same mistake!
This one goes on thick and white as well, but the difference is that it will not mattefy. It stays on as a thick oily coat on your skin. After some time it will appear less white.
I gave it 3 lippies because it appears to be a decent and safe natural sunscreen, just nothing extraordinary. Natural sunscreens mostly seem just like this, and I am constantly looking for the light feeling matte safe and effective one.
