I Look Forward to Using it Daily
I've used this for at least four years and it's my favorite daily defense sunscreen. I notice some people had reactions but I have sensitive skin and rosacea and am have no irritation from this product. But everyone is different ... It goes on with a hardly noticeable hint of white then is quickly absorbed. Almost seems to even out my pigmentation a little. For those who mentioned it's dry, I don't expect this to be a moisturizer and use it on top of a treatment from the dermatologist. It smells fresh but isn't strongly scented. I've also tried Elta MD and it's a good product but this is less expensive for more product. The pump is handy until it can't reach and it becomes necessary to take the lid off and tap the remaining product into your palm each day. There's a good week or so left when the pump comes up empty. Hope you have as good of luck as I have. Some mention oiliness and piling but that hasn't been the case, but I order from the manufacturer directly which may insure I get the freshest batch.

The Perfect Sunscreen!
This is the perfect facial sunscreen. All my checkboxes were marked: it's reef safe, it's cruelty free and vegan, it's a mineral sunscreen, it's invisible once rubbed in, and it rubs in without pulling on my face. I couldn't ask for more in a sunscreen.

no white cast, super moisturizing, dewy finish, citrus scent
I have a shelf of sunscreens. I am trying to find the perfect sunscreen for daily use on my face. I happen to be fair skinned, so if it happens to have a white cast, it isn't too noticeable. But still, I'd like to not even have to worry about it. I also would prefer not to use chemical sunscreens. I often use those on my body, but for my face which is more sensitive- the physical (mineral) sunscreens is better for me. There is NO white cast with this, so definitely fine for darker skin tones if you are looking for a physical sunscreen.This sunscreen is nice. I hot days or days I know where I will be sweating a bit, I don't bother with my expensive skin care routine, since I am likely to sweat it off. This sunscreen offers some skin care goodies above and beyond non nano zinc oxide. So I feel like I am still doing something for my skin, including moisturizing it. According to description, it has antioxidant super plants:--Juanilama: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant (87% more than vitamin E) properties, and--Fierillo: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and antioxidant properties;plus..--Wakame Kelp: reinforce skin defenses again environment, etc--Tazman Pepper: reduces skin inflammation and redness, and--Arabica coffee oil: lubricates skin. regenerates hydrolipid barrier to promote hydration and skin repairing.Smells energizing- like a punch of citrus fruit. It lingers for a little while then seems to dissipate. I can get it near my eyes and they don't get irritated. Kinda surprised it is a strong scent for something that is likely to go on the face.Bottles says no synthetic colors, fragrances or unhealthy ingredients. "Fragrance" is vague here, and although maybe not synthetic, it should be cleared up as to what it is.The company says in answering one of the questions that the fragrance comes from essential oils- if so, they should list the essential oils used. I imagine it is a citrus blend, but essential oils are different than just listing "fragrance". It would be helpful to see exact oils used. Then in another question answered, it was not mentioned that essential oils are used to create fragrance, but that it would be naturally occurring from some of the other ingredients. Which is it? If it is the latter, then the company would be doing themselves a favor by taking the word fragrance out of the ingredient list since not only would it be redundant to keep it in there it could scare off people who are avoiding "fragrance" as a listed ingredient. A product can have a scent due to other ingredients used that have a naturally occurring scent .. and and still be fragrance free. If it is a matter of it being from essential oils.. then that should be listed as well- for better or worse- but at least it is transparent information. Some people have strong reactions to essential oils on their face, whether from scent or from the activity they have. Some dont have reaction. Yet Some have strong reactions to "fragrance" as an added ingredient. Normally I see "fragrance" on a bottle and choose something else, as it typically depicts synthetic, and if it isn't synthetic then it doesn't need to be listed generically as fragrance, but instead specifically as to what the fragrance is derived from.Anyway, I thought I would add that as I am sure there will be potential customers looking at the ingredient list and this may help them one way or another. I hope this review has been helpful to you. If I learn anything new, I will be sure to come back to update.

Doesn't irritate eyes!
Love this face sunscreen. I struggle with finding a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my eyes - this one doesn't irritate my eyes at all! It does seem to dry my skin out a little bit after wearing it a few days in a row.

Best Moisturizer I've used!
This is hands down the best moisturizer/sun screen I've used. Goes on like silk. Immediately soaks in. Smells great.

Not for sensitive skin
It has a pleasant fragrance but it gave me an allergic reaction. It also left a white cast and felt heavy on my skin.

Great facial sunscreen!
I wear this everyday. It disappears and does not make my skin look white.

Allergic reaction
After my second use my face became red/hot/ itchy and swollen . I have used zinc oxide before, but-never had an allergic response like this. Not sure what other ingredient in it caused my reaction, but I advise anyone to test a small patch of skin on 2 separate occasions to test for allergy response .
