Smell is strong (not bad but strong). I cannot tell If I got a bad product or not from Whole Foods or if it was how it was supposed to be, but it looked like the sunscreen/lotion had oil separated....

This moisturizing sunscreen smells fantastic. I think that most of the bad reviews come from people using it on their face, which is not how I think the product was designed to be used. As a body...

This smelled good, and I liked the texture, but it was just too oily for my skin. My skin looked really greasy after, even after rubbing it in for several minutes. Darn.

As much as I love the scent and the way it softens my skin, I have a ton of new freckles on my arms since I started using this as my daily body sunscreen. What a pity, especially because I realy...

I got this in a sampler kit. It is very thick, but do not be fooled. This spreads easily and absorbs with only the slightest hint of a scent. I would buy a full size of this.

I really wanted to like this product. For one, it doesn't smell like most sunscreens I have tried to date. And two, it was very easily to spread. But alas, it was too rich for my oily face. ...

Wow - I was really surprised what a great product this turned out to be. I only tried it because it came in my AB Hawaiian kit. I dotted it on my face since it's thick and thought it would be hard...

Both this and the lavender a.b. sunscreen are fantastic. I usually find sunscreen heavy and greasy but this feels just like a great mosturizer that sinks right in. Inexpensive for a product of such...
