Really like this sunscreen. Rubs in, love the ingredients, and don't burn through. Bought this on a whim because I like Burnout but it is not readily avaialbe to me. This is as good or better.

Surprised there are no reviews for this. This is one of the better zinc oxide sunscreens I have tried. There are a lot of good things about this sunscreen I'd like to share:
1. It does NOT contain nano particles.
2. It contains enough zinc oxide (20%) for adequate UVA protection.
3. The particles of zinc oxide are micronized, not smaller than 250 nm, and they are coated.
4. Lovely ingredients - no parabens, phthalates (natural fragrance), phenoxyethanol, alcohol, etc.

So how does it perform? It is slightly oily and white. Definitely not the whitest sunscreen I've tried, though - this is definitely wearable, if you rub it in well and if you put makeup on top. (may be more difficult for darker skin tones). It is also not as oily as many sunscreens, and someone with dry skin may really like it. It has never broken me out.

I would say, this is a pretty good natural, zinc oxide based sunscreen - I'd give it a B grade.

I'm going to keep looking because it is a little too oily and white for me..and seems to make my makeup slide around. But, it is better (and safer) than most sunscreens, so if I don't find one I like better, I may repurchase this. I've liked it enough to finish the tube, and that's saying something!
