Great Stuff: my feedback

Great Stuff! Was looking for a non-hormone sunscreen and this is it. Goes on totally clear and light. I should say that once it's on, it doesn't come off -- good for outdoor sports, but I can't seem to get it off with a rinse in the shower and I can still smell it afterwards. Totally fine, it's just. resilient.Price is a bit high, honestly, but it's precisely what I was looking for.

Pros
  • Baby-girls
Cons
  • The spray may not evenly distribute the sunscreen, leaving some areas unprotected

Best sunscreen for toddlers

I absolutely love this sunscreen. My son has sensitive skin so we've tried so many different brands of sunscreen. This is so easy to apply and protects his skin so well. Can't recommend enough!

Pros
  • Provides SPF 30 protection against harmful UV rays
Cons
  • The spray may contain harmful chemicals or ingredients

Rubs in with very little white cast like other natural sunscreens

I really like this sunscreen so far. We’ve been using it for days in the sun for my 6 month old daughter and our family. I feel safe and comfortable putting it on her since it’s a clean sunscreen and the best part is it doesn’t leave that heavy white cast that other natural sunscreens do. I have brown skin and I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that if I rub it in immediately after spraying on, it pretty much blends. Haven’t had a sun burn with this either on my daughter so I assume it’s…

Pros
  • B01ALT5MKW
Cons
  • The water-resistant formula may be difficult to remove with regular soap and water

Good for sensitive skin and face

I have oily facial skin and wanted a sunblock that works under makeup. This works well, but leaves a slight white cast. It does not moisturize at all and makeup sits well on top. But I may not repurchase if I can find a sunblock with less of a white cast. It does have a pleasant natural smell.like oats. It is unscented. That is probably the natural smell of the product.

Pros
  • Contains natural and organic ingredients
Cons
  • The sunscreen may not be dermatologist-recommended or approved

Works great in intense sun!

We have been using this for our toddler's daycare everyday. She is very fair skinned and blonde. We took a family trip to Greece which included many trips to the beach and island hopping. All I can say is WOW! We were shocked at how well it worked in the intense sun at the beaches. Her hair is thin and blonde and we also put this on her head as well as her whole body. In 2 1/2 weeks we never had an issue w sunburn! I even used it on my face and shoulders since I am fair too!. We were so happy w

Pros
  • Gentle enough for daily use
Cons
  • The spray may not have an ergonomic design, making it uncomfortable to hold or spray

Great Non-Toxic Sunscreen, Benzone Free!

Yes this leaves a super white residue, but what I do is spray it on everyone then wait a minute or two, then rub it in. It doesn’t say that on the directions but it works and our pale skin doesn’t burn. I reapply it a lot, about every 30 minutes (we live in Southern California) when in direct sun. Also, I don’t use this on the face, I use badger sport for face. Yes it’s a pain, I put towels down and spray outside so it doesn’t leave a spray paint residue, but it’s better than the toxic…

Pros
  • Soothes and calms skin with natural ingredients
Cons
  • The sunscreen may be difficult to remove from the skin, requiring harsh or abrasive products

Make sure aerosol sprays are allowed

We bought it for Hawaii to meet their rules for the reefs. However it turned out that when you’re in a really protected area, Hawaii has even stricter rules for those areas that say you can’t use the spray can. So if I got it again for Hawaii, or for anywhere with a reef, I would get the squeezy tube or pump bottle, not the spray. Also, I got sunburn in splotchy places that I missed. But that’s my use more than the product I guess.

Pros
  • Worked wonders on my kids with sensitive and fair skin!
Cons
  • Comes out white like normal sunscreen and is difficult to rub in. It seems to work fine once on.

Great job! good for me

I really liked this sunscreen. I bought it right before vacation and it worked really well for both my kids and the adults. It was still visible and protecting after 1.5 hours in the ocean waves and then in the pool. Usually I get burned on vacation but I didn't at all this year! I also don't like strong scents and it didn't have much of a smell at all. My only complaint is that it is not really sheer. It rubs in pretty well but you could still see white streaks and white in your pores. In my…

Pros
  • Ideal for babies, kids, and those with sensitive skin
Cons
  • The sunscreen may require multiple applications throughout the day

Not sheer, but good “clean” spray sunscreen

It is most definitely not sheer, however I like that the ingredients are not all chemicals. I feel good using this spray on my young kids, and I also used it on myself. No one burned although we were only in sun about an hour. Pretty expensive , if it were truly sheer I wouldn’t mind paying the price.

Pros
  • Body Sunscreens
Cons
  • Great sun protection but not sheer at all… chalky Appearance

I needed a biodegradable, reef-friendly sunscreen for snorkeling in Mexico, and this one got the highest recommendations from environmental groups.Pros:- The spray makes it easy to use, especially for your back or hard-to-reach areas- It's basically odorless--a pleasant change from most sunscreens which smell awful- It goes on dry, not sticky like most sunscreens, and doesn't make you shiny- It stays on forever, including in the water. As in, even after showering after being in the water most…

Pros
  • Fantastic. Rubs in easily
Cons
  • Good sunscreen but the spray is terrible. It comes out soooo splotchy and stark white

Clean sunscreen for my opinion

After my thyroid cancer diagnosis I’ve gotten rid of several chemical laden household products, which sometimes feels like that’s 95% of all products on the market. I found this using the "Think Dirty” app and was really happy to find it here in revain. I love this sunscreen. Feels clean, works great, and I’ve even used it on my 3yo granddaughter. We sprayed it on her face with her eyes closed w/o any burning or stinging.It’s a little pricey but feel it’s worth the extra few dollars knowing…

Pros
  • ZINC-BASED, MINERAL FORMULA: Specially formulated to naturally protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays, this sunblock is oxybenzone and octinoxate free. Enriched with Babo's organic Nutri-Soothe Complex. Reef friendly.
Cons
  • The spray nozzle may malfunction, resulting in uneven application or wasted product

It really is water resistant

This stuff is great. Normally when buying a green sunscreen, I have to sacrifice the aerosol feature and default to a lotion. This has a very neutral scent and sprays easily and evenly. It is zinc-based, so it will leave a white haze on your skin. I did need to rub it in after spraying, which helped minimize the white hue. It does love bathing suits, so be prepared to also rub the zinc powder into your bathing suit, otherwise it will be spray painted white. I used this while tubing and did not…

Pros
  • NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTS: Hypoallergenic to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Clinically tested and rated number #1 in safety by Environment Working Group (EWG). Gluten, soy, dairy, peanut, almond and walnut free. Made in USA and B Corp Certified.
Cons
  • The sunscreen may not provide long-lasting protection

Works well for sensitive skin.

Apply after you reach destination. Will leave smear on car seat so sit on towel or something and don’t lean on anything if arms are sprayed. While off skin before getting back in vehicle.

Pros
  • Free from harmful chemicals and fragrances
Cons
  • The spray may not be suitable for sensitive areas, such as around the eyes or mouth

Works great, but have to rub it in.

Works great for sensitive skin. Light weight. Have to rub it in. Not a spray quick and go. Spray outside otherwise it will make objects white speckled

Pros
  • Helps prevent sunburn and sun damage
Cons
  • The spray may not be suitable for use on the face or delicate areas of the body

For the sea good for me

Bought these as a more planet-friendly sunscreen option and am still glad I did. That earth-friendliness comes with a trade-off; it is not convenient to apply. While it sprays from the bottle to a desired location, you will be required to manually distribute over an area and rub in. It doesn’t really ever rub in- you’ll look a bit like a pastel version of yourself, which actually was convenient in identifying where I’d missed spots. Not easy application nor transparent application, but still a…

Pros
  • Water-resistant formula for long-lasting protection
Cons
  • The spray may not work well for larger areas of the body, such as the back or legs

Excellent, everything as expected

Very good sunscreen, it does the job, although you need to renew it at reasonable intervals if you're under the sun for long, and in and out of the water.Like every other mineral sunscreens, it takes a bit more effort to spread, but the spray helps a lot.Importantly, it did not cause any skin irritation/rash, unlike a mineral sunscreen from another brand we have used previously.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities and sports
Cons
  • The water-resistant formula may not be sweat-resistant

Works but comes out white

Love the brand and works just fine however I guess I missed reading that it comes out super white. Don't love how it gets everywhere and white stays on swim suit until washed off in washing machine. Will be checking out another type under same brand to see if I can purchase a clear formula.

Pros
  • Dermatologist-tested for safety and efficacy
Cons
  • The sunscreen may not be suitable for use before or after certain activities, such as tanning or waxing

Great for your skin

So I have even white skin and psoriasis. When I use this product on my skin it protects from the sun and also lowers the plaques of my psoriasis. The oils in this spray not only protect from the sun (make sure you apply in consistently) but moisturize your skin. And Ive paid more for a lesser sunscreen. P.S. I am on a biologic for my psoriasis. This isn't a cure but its a great compliment.

Pros
  • Provides ample coverage with 6 oz. bottle size
Cons
  • The sunscreen may not provide adequate hydration or moisturization to the skin

Easy to use - my new review

I used this the whole summer on my 3 and 6 year olds. We were outside a lot and they never came close to burning. It’s also super easy to rub in. Best sunscreen I’ve used on kids.

Pros
  • Skin Care
Cons
  • The spray may be difficult to apply to certain areas, such as the face or ears

This stuff RULES on my review.

I’ve been allergic to chemical sunscreens since the first time my parents put one on me when I was 6mos old. I was born in 1992. Back then, no one made a waterproof zinc oxide formula. I was resigned to rubbing white crap all over my skin only to have it wash off immediately upon entering the water until I was about 16years old and got my hands on Blue Lizard. Unfortunately, that stuff was expensive AF. More recently I’ve been using Neutrogena Sheer Zinc, which is a good lotion sunscreen but it
