I live in sunny Queensland.
I have been using the Toddler sunscreen for my face and the Ultra for other areas of my body. The Toddler feels a bit more heavier on my face. I do find that I smell quite like sunscreen after putting it all on but it goes away in a few min (unless I have become accustomed to it.) I've been using this combination for about a month and haven't experienced any adverse affects on my skin or feel that I have tanned more.

Admittedly, I do still quite use other forms of sun protection: umbrellas, sunglasses, hat and long sleeved clothing.

It is quite cheap and I use a substantial amount. I don't often re-apply as I do not always have the opportunity to clean my face/body and re-apply a fresh coat. I'm not keen on layering sunscreen on top of dirty skin.

I have previously purchased a big pump but as I am using it myself I have long learnt that I'm better off buying the110mL tubes and finishing them up in 6 months rather than have the pumps lingering around for a long period of time.
Nonetheless, I feel protected wearing this sunscreen and feel good about it going to a good cause.

This review is for an australian product. The Cancer Council of Australia Toddler sunblock SPF 30+ sunscreen milk with moisturiser. I developed an allergy to chemical sunscreens and finding a mineral sunscreen in Australia that is cosmetically elegant and a reasonable price isn't that easy.
This contains 8% titanium dioxide, is relatively non greasy and leaves virtually no white cast. In summer it is a little bit greasy for me but then so is every other sunscreen I've tried. I find a light dusting with powder gets rid of the shine and gives it a nice finish. It's also light enough to wear under makeup without balling. Price is around $10 for a 110 ml tube.
Please be aware, the Cancer Council of Australia also makes a Clear Zinc sunscreen, however this also contains chemical sunscreens. I point this out because it is easy enough to assume that it is a chemical free sunscreen and buy it by mistake.
Update - The Cancer Council of Australia now have three chemical free sunscreens - Toddler Sunscreen, Natural Sunscreen with 20% zinc oxide and Everyday sunscreen also with 20% zinc oxide. I have tried the Natural sunscreen which is thick and difficult to remove at the end of the day. I don't know what the difference is between the Natural Sunscreen and the Everyday sunscreen with clear zinc as they seem to have the same ingredients. I have not tried this product and have emailed the Cancer Council asking them what the difference is between the two products.
