Thrive Reef Safe Sunscreen SPF50 - Hawaii 104 Reef Act Compliant - Mineral Sunscreen Non-Nano Zinc Oxide - Vegan, (5.8 Oz (Pack of 1))

I really wanted to love this product but it dried out my skin. A few days after I began using it I noticed my the skin on my arms was tight and itchy. I thought perhaps it was a change of weather that might have caused the sudden dryness but it continued. I stopped using the sunscreen and my skin has returned to normal. It's a pity because this is a pricey sunscreen with good ingredients. I'll finish using it along with extra body oil or moisturiser but won't buy it again.

I absolutely love this sunscreen! It provides strong SPF 50 protection without any harsh chemicals, which gives me peace of mind knowing my skin and the ocean are both safe. The formula is mineral-based, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or sticky feeling so common with other sunscreens. I can wear it all day while hiking, swimming, or just lounging outdoors, and it never irritates my skin. I also appreciate that it’s reef-safe and Hawaii 104 compliant — it feels great to use a product that’s effective for me and responsible for the environment. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it doesn’t leave a white cast like some mineral sunscreens. Overall, it’s a high-quality, thoughtful sunscreen that I’ll definitely be buying again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe, effective sun protection!

I've spent a lot of time in the sun and used a lot of different sunscreens over the years (I'm 47). Some have been chemical-based, some physical (like mineral and zinc oxide), some reef-safe, and some sport sunscreens (for beach volleyball and such), some mainstream/big brand, and some from local and indie companies (including Korean and Australian brands). Thrive is probably my favorite sunscreen ever. It's pricey but worth it. Effective and so luxurious on my skin. It has a nice mild smell too. Gave me peace of mind while vacationing and snorkeling in Cozumel recently. Not a single sunburn in 8 days. It's pricey for sunscreen but I've paid way more for a luxury body oil and this sunscreen makes my skin feel like I'm using an expensive body oil. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing sunscreen - great scent, easy to rub in, outstanding protection and reef friendly to boot. Purchased due to great reviews - they were not wrong!! Worn during a 7-day Caribbean cruise with no burning whatsoever. Everyone in the party used it with the same great results. We'll use no other sunscreen going forward.

Love the feel and application of this sunscreen! It’s nice on the skin and doesn’t require excessive rubbing to make the white go away. Leaves no white cast (although my daughter commented it almost had a purple-ish hue). My only criticism is that the shirt I was wearing while applying has a kind of greasy ring around the neck where I often reapplied, even after washing it, hence 4 stars. Just be careful (as with all mineral sunscreens) to not get this on clothes or fabrics you care about.

This is the absolute best sunscreen I have ever used. I’m an outdoors girly.. I put this stuff on earlier today. I know I’ve been sweating. It did not burn my eyes. It did not even run. It might look a little bit shiny when he first put it on, but it is not greasy throughout the day. It stayed in place no burning no irritation no issues, it protects Coral and the environment. I highly recommend it. I will never be using anything else. My only problem is not using it SOONER! Before vanlife starts I’ll be buying a 1 year supply.
